5 Day Challenge to Improve Your Mental Health
The importance of mental health can’t be overstated, given that it impacts every part of our lives. Even so, we often let caring for our mental health take a back seat to other priorities. We ignore our needs until we’re burned out, isolated, or struggling with illness. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a perfect time to prioritize your mental health by committing to a 5-day challenge. Each day explores a different facet of mental health and contains a simple exercise for putting it into practice. You can improve your emotional well-being in less than 15 minutes a day. Missing a day or doing them out of order is no problem–these lessons will always be here for your reference. Come back to them when you’re ready.

Peer Leadership Best Practices
So You Want to Become a Peer Leader in a Recovery Residence? Recovery residence house managers and others wishing to become “peer leaders” (PL) will be able to listen to interviews of six successful PLs and hear how they approached the role, the challenges they faced, and what their experiences have taught them. Anyone interested in learning more about this process of becoming a PL and their vital role in recovery residence operations will enjoy this program. At the conclusion of this program, participants will understand the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to function in the role, as well as the challenges and opportunities involved. Recovery Residences - How We Know They Work Many in the recovery field feel intuitively that recovery residences, structured sober living, and similar programs aid a person’s recovery from Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Unfortunately, there has been scant research to measure outcomes and explore the questions around recovery residences: What evidence do we have that supports our ideas that recovery housing helps recovery? What types of programs have the most success? The least? What does the data tell us that may help develop evidence-based programs? Dr. Corey Vilsaint, a community research psychologist fellow at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, and a principal investigator at the Recovery Research Institute and Center for Addiction Medicine, answers these questions and more in this course.
