The Recovery Academy was founded on the belief that everyone has strengths, gifts, talents, and skills they can use to improve their lives. We offer a variety of courses and activities designed by persons in recovery for persons in recovery to help people become all they can be.

We believe in dreams.

We believe in hope.

We believe in recovery.

We believe in people-especially YOU!

What do we do?

People who have faced the same challenges as our students teach our courses. But that is only the beginning.

Students learn skills that encourage them to dream big dreams. Everyone is encouraged to try new things to learn about themselves, others, and the world around them.

Some students become course instructors, board members of community organizations, speakers, educators, writers, or ... whatever they strive to be!

Courses are conducted at various places in the community and are filled with exciting activities.

Academy Students learn about achieving mental wellness in the course Pathways to Recovery. They learn how to stay well through Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP).

Other courses include: basic and advanced leadership, person-centered planning, mental health advance directives, public speaking and teaching, facilitating support groups and a host of other offerings - some you may help create!
