We're excited to now be offering a live-on-Zoom SMART facilitator training for professionals on an "open enrollment" basis! These pictures are from a recent training (guess which one has people responding to a "show us your deep thinking" prompt). Open enrollment means is that you can sign up as an individual counselor, peer support specialist, therapist, or allied recovery professional without having to organize a private cohort group.

Jones saw there was a lack of support and plenty of misunderstanding of the issues involved. On the latest SMART Podcast, Jones and her colleague Lindsey Moore talk about how they use their lived experience and advocacy skills to dismantle the stigma and provide hope for those affected. https://smartrecovery.libsyn.com/dismantling-the-stigma

A recent decision by the Colorado Department of Corrections means that parolees will now be offered a choice of alternatives that include self-empowering SMART Recovery in addition to "twelve step" programs. https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/colorado-parolees-can-now-choose
