Why become a Group Leader Now?

Having past participants like you become Group Leaders is a CRITICAL part of our process that solidifies and strengthens YOUR recovery. We don't use therapists or professionals as Group Leaders. Our research has proven that past participants working as Group Leaders offer hope and encouragement that professionals cannot. This translates to more significant and positive changes in depression, anxiety, and overall enjoyment in life and marriage where applicable. More people are coming to us for help each month, and we can only offer groups for them if we have enough Group Leaders. We never want to turn people away from healing because we don't have enough Group Leaders willing to lead a group of their own. So please, take the time to carefully consider this and give it a shot. YOU are invited because YOU have what it takes. There are people signing up right now that need your specific experience from your healing journey.

Many quickly respond that they're not ready because they don't feel they are fully healed and on the other side. Rest assured, the timing of your invitation is not impulsive. Over time we have honed this process and carefully schedule our invitations, training, and new leader assignments based what's best for the leader and for the participants. Healing is our utmost concern and we will not do something that's going to risk your recovery or the recovery of those in your group.

If you've been a part of any 12-step groups or are familiar with them, you'll know that Step 12 is giving back. Those who work the steps turn around and help others do the same while revisiting what they have already learned. This step solidifies lessons learned more so with each person they guide. This is the most important part of recovery. You will see growth in leaps and bounds. This is where your pain has purpose. It worked for the leaders in the videos above and the testimonials below. It will work for you too. We believe Healed individuals are vital guides and we have worked this into the process of healing. We know how important this step is and we will support you and train you along the way just like we did through your coursework. You're not alone. Don't worry about committing to leading a group right now, just commit to learning more about the process. After that you can decide if you want to take the next step or not. Don't make the mistake of casting this aside and miss out on a huge opportunity of continued growth and healing.
