Exploring Recovery

The meaning of recovery for you

Recovery is about shaping your own life by making your own choices, finding your own path, and taking your life (back) into your own hands. In this training you have the opportunity to talk with others about recovery. How do others deal with difficult moments? How does it affect their everyday life? What tips do they have, and what tips might you have to share?

For whom

This training is for anyone who is new to recovery or wants to explore how it might affect their everyday life, and talk about it with others.

By whom

Two facilitators from The Herstelbureau lead the group. They know from personal experience what it’s like to go through recovery and have experience supporting others in their recovery journeys.

This group is hosted by

TruColours is a community-based clubhouse in Amsterdam, created by and for people in recovery. It provides a safe and supportive environment where individuals can connect, share experiences, and work on their personal recovery. Through peer support, 12-step meetings, and activities that support body, mind, and soul, TruColours helps people build a meaningful life beyond addiction.
