Programs

Springboard is a FREE 18-week community day program for people with co-occurring mental health and alcohol and other drugs challenges. The program begins with a six-week intensive group, followed by twelve weeks of individual support and ongoing access to weekly peer support groups.

Group Treatment: The six-week group is structured to include the following sessions:

• Psychological Health: Concepts and skills from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other evidence-informed approaches
  to support learning and action.
• Physical Health: Taking a holistic review of recovery, we incorporate gym exercise, yoga and dietitian sessions to support a healthy mind-body relationship and active lifestyle
• Relapse Prevention: Craving management, safety planning and harm-reduction strategies to reduce risk of relapse
