CURATED FOR Melanated PEOPLE AND CENTERED AROUND COMMUNAL Healing…

Unique Recovery Pathway, affectionately referred to as UR (your) Pathway, brings a fresh approach to recovery support with weekly community check-ins for individuals in or seeking recovery from addiction, grief, mental illness, trauma, and other circumstances that negatively impact one’s quality of life.

Through grants and sponsorships, our community check-ins are free to attend. Our program was designed to celebrate all pathways of healing and recovery while supporting the influence of culture and identity on one's healing journey. We understand that recovery is unique to every individual and have created a sanctuary of community and support for those seeking healing.

our sessions cover a variety of experiences:

OUR APPROACH

Inspired by SAMHSA’s Eight (8) Dimensions of Wellness, our program helps individuals tap into their intrinsic power to travel the path of recovery that best suits them. UR Pathway gives participants a chance to address the quality of life of their whole person. This peer support group is a space for fellowship, mutual aid/support, and gaining a better understanding of ourselves and others.

THE 9 DIMENSIONS OF WELLbeing

PHASE 1. EMOTIONAL

"Coping positively with life and building mutually satisfying relationships."

PHASE 2. SPIRITUAL

"Expanding a sense of purpose and meaning in life to achieve self-actualization.”

PHASE 3. ENVIRONMENTAL

"Creating and occupying pleasant, nurturing environments that support wholistic wellbeing."

PHASE 4. INTELLECTUAL

"Cultivating new ways to expand knowledge and skills."

PHASE 5. oCCUPATIONAL

“Finding purpose in one's work, hobbies and passions.”

PHASE 6. PHYSICAL

"Understanding and practicing the necessity of physical activity, natural foods, and rest."

PHASE 7. MENTAl

"(Re)Discovering creative abilities and using them as an outlet for healthy, positive self-expression."

PHASE 8. FINANCIAL

“Strategizing to increase assets and reduce liabilities to increase satisfaction with current and future circumstances.”

PHASE 9. SOCIAL

"Developing a sense of community, belonging, and a well-rounded support system."

A session of UR Pathway CONSISTS of:

1. Breaking Bread / Check In
   When hosted in person, Breaking Bread offers fellows and members an opportunity to build healthy connections. Having this time at the beginning of each session assists participants in transitioning from the busyness of the day into the UR Pathway session. Welcome and introductions also take place during this time.

2. Affirming Mantra + Guided Group Meditation
   The affirming mantra opens the space and sets the tone for the session. Meditation helps participants to disconnect from outside distractions and focus on the present moment.

3. Pulse Check
   During Pulse Check, facilitators may present our recovery aspirations and principles, ultimately participants share their current circumstances and feelings.

4. Guided Group Discussions
   Using questions and scenarios, we help participants identify their feelings and the reason why they feel the way they do. As participants learn to identify and talk about their feelings they become better able to connect with others, reducing feelings of isolation and stigma.

5. Open Discussion
   In this portion, participants dive deeper into topics mentioned during guided discussion and learn how to apply strategies learned. *Open discussion may also include a game, activity, or craft to help participants better experience and understand a main point of the lesson.

6. Farewell Mantra + Fellowship
   The farewell mantra closes the space and prepares participants to finish their day, and the rest of the week, strong. In the closing, facilitators and participants discuss their main takeaways of the session.

Next Session is Feb 12, 2025
