When navigating the complexities of mental health, having the right tools and support can make all the difference. At NAMI Southwest Washington, we understand the importance of fostering a safe space where individuals can learn, grow, and strengthen their journey toward mental wellness. That’s why we host STRive—Steps to Recovery—every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at 11:00 am, virtually.
STRive is more than just a group; it’s a community dedicated to supporting one another in recovery. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking to maintain your mental health, STRive offers a welcoming environment where you can gain the knowledge and skills needed to lead a fulfilling life, even in the face of mental health challenges.
STRive is centered around the belief that recovery and personal responsibility are the cornerstones of a successful and sustained recovery from mental health conditions. Each session is designed to help you:
- Strengthen Coping Skills: Learn practical techniques to manage stress, anxiety, and other challenges that arise in daily life. By reinforcing your coping mechanisms, you can better navigate the ups and downs of mental health.
- Recognize Triggers: Identifying and understanding your triggers is crucial to preventing crises and managing your mental health effectively. STRive provides tools and strategies to help you recognize and respond to these triggers in a healthy way.
- Improve Interpersonal Skills: Building and maintaining healthy relationships is key to overall well-being. STRive helps you develop better communication and interpersonal skills, which can enhance your connections with others.
- React Healthily to Stress: Life is full of stressors, but how you react to them can determine your mental health outcomes. STRive equips you with the knowledge and techniques to respond to stress in a way that supports your well-being.
STRive emphasizes recovery and personal responsibility as keys to a successful life, even when people experience mental health issues or crises. Strengthen your coping skills, better recognize triggers, improve interpersonal skills, and learn to react in a healthy way to stress.
One of the most valuable aspects of STRive is the supportive environment and sense of community it fosters. In each session, you’ll meet others who are on similar journeys, offering mutual support and understanding. It’s a space where you can share your experiences, learn from others, and build a network of support that can be vital to your recovery.
