Online Recovery Course

Every Tuesday evening from 17th November for 7 weeks and one full day on Saturday 5th December - 10 am to 5 pm

This recovery course takes the key elements of the London Intensive and combines them with the knowledge and experience we’ve gained from years of delivering group work recovery online.  

The course is an online virtual recovery group which is delivered via the Zoom video conferencing platform. It provides practical information and resources for stopping unwanted behaviours and developing long term relapse prevention strategies.  The programme is both educational and practical and utilises both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psycho-educational strategies.  The programme also provides a supportive online group environment to help overcome feelings of embarrassment and isolation and to facilitate a long-term accountability network.

By the end of the course, attendees will be able to:  

• Define positive sexuality and establish sexual boundaries  
• Recognise and manage triggers 
• Identify underlying contributing issues
• Establish relapse prevention strategies to secure and maintain recovery 
• Identify and overcome potential future blocks to recovery 
• Develop long term strategies for re-establishing a positive sexual lifestyle 
• Create a vision for the future and a personalised relapse prevention plan

The course consists of 7 x 2 hour sessions plus one full day on either a Saturday or Sunday. It is delivered as both a weekly and an intensive two weekly format with homework assignments to complete between sessions. Attendance at each session is required and the course is strictly limited to a maximum of 6 men.  Session 7 is our follow-up evaluation session which is provided approximately 4 weeks after session 7.  All attendees are required to attend the Kick Start Recovery Workshop before attendance and undertake a brief initial assessment to confirm the programme is appropriate for their individual needs and circumstances and also to sign a confidentiality statement to ensure the group is a safe space for all.  The cost for the course is £825 which can be paid in instalments if required.
