We’re all angry sometimes, but anger can insert itself into our lives so much that we risk ruining relationships, losing a job, or even ending up in difficulty with the police. This half-day workshop discusses what’s going on in those moments where anger takes control.
We’re all angry sometimes, but anger can insert itself into our lives so much that we risk ruining relationships, losing a job, or even ending up in difficulty with the police. This half-day workshop discusses what’s going on in those moments where anger takes control.
It recognises that there’s usually something that you’re angry about and how intense those feelings can be. It provides you with practical skills and strategies to recognise your anger rising and to defuse angry feelings before they cause an outburst you might regret afterwards.
Recovery Connections is a peer-led, substance use recovery organisation based in Middlesbrough. Originally Hope North East, we were founded in 2008 by members of the local recovery community.
In addition to having a presence in Middlesbrough, we also have teams in Gateshead, Stockton and Sunderland, working in partnership contracts. Our Middlesbrough-based rehab is rated CQC Outstanding.
In 2016, we made the decision to rebrand in recognition of the successful tender for the Abstinence and Recovery Service within Middlesbrough Recovering Together. Following a stakeholder consultation the name Recovery Connections.
In late 2019 we took over Middlesbrough based eatery, The Fork In The Road marking the beginning of our group of companies offering social enterprise opportunities; there are now four businesses within Recovery Connections Enterprises: The Fork in the Road, Bloom Florists, The Fork in the Road – Stage One and 131 The Venue. To find out more about this element of our work, visit the Social Enterprise tab.
We offer a range of opportunities that can help build recovery capital and achieve lasting positive change. We focus on individual strengths and have a ‘do with’ rather than a ‘do for’ approach to support. We believe in and support all pathways of recovery.
Raising the profile of recovery and challenging stigma is a key aim of everything we do. We endeavour to network and speak to organisations, groups and communities about recovery wherever possible. In 2019/20 we worked in collaboration with Road to Recovery Trust on a research project around stigma which formed a consultation report that will inform us and lead onto further work in the field.
We collaborate with Recovery Organisations worldwide including:
David Collins, CEO of The Foundation Clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa, specialising in Recovery to Wellness Coaching.
John Elford, Author of the “Integrated Step Course (WISC)” – a methodology to teach the 12 steps in a rehab setting.
John is the designer of the Integrated Step Course, the staff induction and other key elements of the service delivery that we offer. He spent a year delivering staff supervision as the programme became established – we still use John’s programme and resources today.
