RECOVERY MOVIE MEETUPS are facilitator or peer-led mutual support meetings where individuals come together to watch carefully-curated Hollywood movies that focus on themes of addiction, recovery and mental health, commitment to change, personal growth, and redemption.
Guided by your trained facilitator (free training provided), these meetings create a dynamic and highly interactive environment for participants to connect, share their experiences, and discuss the movie's themes in relation to their own recovery journeys - offering inspiration, hope, and a sense of community.
Meetups include a discussion session after the movie guided by evocative questionnaires that encourage open dialogue and powerful self-analysis. The goal is to foster connection, reduce feelings of isolation, and reinforce the principles of recovery through shared experiences and storytelling.
RECOVERY MOVIE MEETUPS are easy to integrate into your weekly schedule. All you need is a commons area with a TV, comfy couches and chairs, and print-outs of the Workbook movie exercises included in the Program.
