Our Approach
Ruth's Way's trainings are designed to advance the awareness and knowledge of those who hope to gain a better understanding of addiction and recovery. Through our interactive classes, participants learn to develop the skills and tools to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and others. Our classes provide a foundation in prevention, intervention, and post-treatment skills to assist those suffering from substance use disorder.
We have facilitated training for a public health department, churches, the department of correction, parent groups, organizations that work with human trafficking survivors, first responders, small groups, and shelters.
Our life skills and recovery-based groups promote strength-based solutions to foster health and wellness. We create wellness/recovery training and life skills sessions for women in our sober home, survivor groups, program staff, and incarcerated women.
Our curriculum can be designed to suit the needs of the individual group or organization. To schedule a training, please call (857) 361-9913 or email ruthswayforwomen@gmail.com.
