PROGRAM STRUCTURE

INDUCTION WEEK

Induction Week is where you meet your fellow online participants and provides a taste of the online program. We work through what is trauma, classes, groups, a recreational activity and suggest options for work therapy which you undertake in your own time. We do a live catch-up at 2.45 pm (AET) to see how the work went, what you did during the day and how you are feeling about your progress. During the last day, one-on-one online meetings take place to discuss if you want to continue to Stage One.

STAGE ONE

This is where participants:

Join classes to gain an understanding of basic human behaviours and develop life skills.

Learn how to make informed choices about future treatment needs and options.

Receive education on issues such as relapse prevention, relaxation, harms minimisation, infectious diseases, basic nutrition and conflict resolution.

Go through basic sessions on anger, shame, grief and loss, fear and guilt, and self-esteem.

Participate in work therapy, which might mean doing something in your own community or for yourself in a structured, disciplined away or doing your homework for the Program or reading the designated book.

Every day there is a morning and afternoon catch-up. A mentor and case manager is allocated to support you during your online Program.

Life begins to change.

STAGE TWO

This stage involves:

Increased feelings of self-worth, gaining self-confidence in decision-making and learning through consequential thinking.

Restructuring lifestyles, developing healthy attitudes and activities, and setting realistic goals.

Exchanging false belief systems and learning Cognitive Behaviour Therapy through self-regulating behaviour.

Addressing core issues including past trauma, grief, loss and shame.

Stepping into a new life

STAGE FOUR

Participants in this level of the program are required to:

Be actively seeking and/or in employment or vocational training in consultation with Sign for Work our dedicated employment agency and/or other agency or service.

Continue to attend online study groups within the program and undertake a book study, which draws together the learning in the previous 3 stages. Recreational activities are still a component of the Program
