Ā OUR WORK
Since we started in 2014, Beyond Recovery’s work has been continually growing and evolving.
WeĀ now have two returned citizens as directors of Beyond Recovery for 2 years they’veĀ bothĀ played an integral part in Beyond Recovery’s growth.Ā Since Covid19 Beyond Recovery has had to adapt and one of the many wonderful things to come out of that was our Distance Learning Buddy Scheme where Beyond Recovery pairĀ HMP residents with people from varied backgrounds, they complete our three part DL packs then correspond with each other via secure prison email to share what comes up for them.Ā More often than notĀ beautifully pointing each individualĀ to the similarities of human beings. Seeing through that self imposed stigma, stereotypes andĀ barriers. Beyond Recovery also work with community organisations and professionals within the Criminal Justice System and addiction services; and social entrepreneurs.
Our programmes aim to uncover the innate wellbeing in all people, and point them to where their experience of life is coming from in the moment. So instead of the thinking that tells us experience comes from external factors, we demonstrate how peopleās experience is coming completely from their own use of thought in the moment.
The changes we hope for are that as people access their own innate well being, and as they realise the āinside outā nature of life, they get better. They feel better, their life gets easier and they start to see different things about their lives.
In this section of our site, you can find further information on six key areas:
THE THREE PRINCIPLES
The Three Principles model differs from many other approaches to tackling human problems in one fundamental way: it focuses on teaching health rather than treating illness. The model is rooted in a belief that we all have inner mental good health and teaches individuals how to access and sustain this health.
REAP METHODOLOGY
Beyond Recovery uses REAP to create sustainable change and unleash innate abilities. Working with individuals with histories of addiction and offending, we assist with discovering possibility, achieving potential and realising ambition.
EVIDENCE OF IMPACT
Beyond Recovery is committed to providing the most effective service we can and all our work is rigorously evaluated to help us continuously improve it.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
Beyond Recovery is currently delivering evidence-based programmes in category B and C prisons in the UK, in addition to working with community organisations and professionals who work within the Criminal Justice System.
PROFESSIONALS
Beyond Recovery is passionate about people seeing the infinite potential of themselves and taking inspired action for societal change. Our Wisdom Entrepreneurs programme and MindSpa retreats are aimed at professionals.
THE ACADEMY
The next exciting phase of our work is The Academy, where participants can continue to be involved after their release from prison.
