<font size=4>Pathways to Recovery: A Strengths Recovery Self Help Workbook</font>

What is this Workbook All About?
Unlike most other recovery self-help materials, this workbook does not concentrate on psychiatric disorders, symptoms or treatments. Instead, it focuses on how you can use your many strengths and resources to set goals and achieve recovery in broad domains of life such as:
[*] having a sense of home[*] increasing your knowledge and education[*] deciding what kind of work you may want to do[*] developing the kind of relationships you want to have with others[*] improving your sexuality and achieving intimacy[*] attaining higher levels of wellness[*] finding enjoyable recreational activities[*] unfolding your spirituality and other important areas

This workbook can be used along with other approaches to recovery that focus on reducing and self-managing disturbing symptoms.

This workbook guides you through the processes of self-assessment, self-discovery and planning that help you decide where you want to go in life. You will create personal vision, design long term goals and action steps to make progress towards your dreams. Pathways will help you use your own inner and outer strengths and the resources that are available to you to move you forward on your pathway to recovery. In other words, this workbook is about getting a fuller and more enjoyable life!

How to Use this Workbook
In Pathways to Recovery you actively venture onto the path towards recovery and learn from the successful experiences of others who have gone before you. Working this workbook is a little like having a travel agent or tour guide. By doing the readings and completing the self-assessments and exercises provided, you become much more active on your own behalf. As you work through each section you build the knowledge, skills and plans needed to make your journey a success. Exploration and finding out about yourself and your dreams requires a gradual build-up of activity, particularly if you haven't been actively involved in making important decisions for awhile.
