participants say
"I recently completed the SMART Recovery Group Facilitator’s Training with Josette Freeman. I came away feeling confident that I will be able to facilitate a group in the near future and with a good understanding of what is required to work within this training program. SMART Recovery is a very different approach to group work and I am so pleased that I have now completed this valuable training."
“I have been very satisfied with the SMART Recovery Training. It has been a very pleasant learning experience. I score the online SMART Recovery Training 10/10 and highly recommend!”
"Since attending SMART Recovery meetings I have learnt a range of tools to assist me in managing my drinking. I have been able to explore the psychology surrounding my drinking habits, analyse when I am susceptible to binge drinking, evaluate the consequences of such actions and set clear, definable goals which I actively work towards each week."
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to complete training in order to facilitate a smart recovery meeting?
To ensure the quality of the program and the safety of participants, you must complete training before running the program. Completing the Professional Development Course is a great foundation course but doesn’t enable you to start a meeting. Completing Online, Online Premium and face to face Trainings enable you to facilitate a SMART Meeting. Further, if you are from an organisation, you must purchase a membership before starting a meeting. Memberships do not apply to volunteers in the community.
