54321 is a group that explores the formation of habits. Why we form them and how then to unlearn those that no longer serve you. We focus on different themes/topics to better understand the mechanics behind addiction. This is a great place to start. This group is about understanding and removing judgment.

This is held on Zoom. The meeting ID is: 84732925320

Speakeasy is a drop-in, informal mutual aid support group, facilitated by peer mentors. The group offers a safe, non-judgemental space to explore recovery; the challenges, the successes, what helps, and everything in between. Exchanges with others who have been in similar situations can provide valuable insights and new perspectives on how to navigate your own journey. This group is about support and connection.

This is held at Cascades.

Self-Management and Recovery Training uses motivational and cognitive behavioural therapy techniques to get out from under dysfunctional behavioural habits that form addiction. The model uses a 4-point programme: Building Motivation, coping with urges, Problem Solving and Lifestyle Balance. This group is about behaviour change and goal setting.

This is held at Cascades.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy uses both cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based strategies to help you create a rich, full and meaningful life, whilst accepting the challenges that come with it. Matrix sessions help gain insight into recent behaviours, with the aim of increasing your ‘in the moment’ awareness and ability to make value guided actions. Building block sessions explore strategies that allow you to accept and make room for difficult thoughts and emotions that can often dominate behaviour. This group is about bringing choice back to the table.

Look Up is our weekly gratitude group, where we focus attention on the smaller things in life that we can be thankful for. This can be of great benefit particularly within times of challenge, to help combat negative patterns of thinking that can affect how we feel and then how we behave. The group is about cultivating a positive mindset.
