Get Started

This course is part of the Lifestyle and Recovery Series. Identifying and setting goals can be very important to every person in recovery. In this course we will help you to understand the role of goal setting in recovery. We will then explore different ways to identify goals, help you to be better able to set them, and then work towards them. 

This course is made up of four sections. This course will take approximately thirty to sixty minutes to complete. However, this timing will depend on how fast you read and how long you spend on the reflective questions. You do not need to complete the whole course in one go. If you leave and come back to the course, it will remember where you got up to.
