ABOUT THE PROJECT - YOUR CHOICES MATTER

The Your Choices Matter programme has been designed to adopt a 360-degree approach to support people in recovery from alcohol and substance abuse.  The name of the programme is highly pertinent.  The choices that all human beings make have consequences.  By ensuring a collection of more conscious and carefully deliberated decisions (each waken hour and day) people can find a more positive place in their personal and work life.

Working with a team that consists of: a qualified psychotherapist, a nutrition expert, a life coach, a fitness coach and a project leader, the Your Choices Matter programme will run a programme of events that allow people in recovery from alcohol and drugs to access support.

As well as delivering an immersive programme that considers physical and mental well-being, food nutrition, the importance of exercise and being more considered about one’s life goals and desires, we will also encourage participants to express themselves and articulate their challenges for the attention of other people in a similar situation.  This can take the shape of radio programmes, podcasts and short videos.

The programme has an initial assessment (personal discovery) aspect that gains status on the life challenges and aspirations of participants, allowing us to tailor the modules of the programme to support people where they most need it.  This will allow people to physically take part in sessions, but provide digital content (audio, video, articles) for those people who have become reliant on digital content.  

Some of the physical activities will take place at various venues around North East Derbyshire.  The more intellectual sessions and digital media elements will take place at our Clowne Studio on North Road.
