Recovery is the foundation.
It isn't always enough.
When loss, grief, and change arrive (and they will), your clients need more than sobriety. They need a net strong enough to hold them.
Illuminating Recovery Instituteâ„¢ trains the professionals and organizations who support people in recovery so they are equipped for what happens after sobriety.
Founded by Dr. Noeréna Abookire, PhD, the Institute offers certification training, organizational programs, and resources built around one central framework: the Three-Tiered Recovery Safety Net™. If your work puts you in the room with people navigating loss, change and grief, you're in the right place.
The Recovery Safety Net
Developed by Dr. Noe, the Recovery Safety Netâ„¢ weaves together three threads most recovery programs leave out. It prepares people in recovery for the moments that can unravel everything, before those moments ever arrive.
Recovery provides the structure.
The practices, principles, and support systems that sustain a life without addiction.
Spiritual Action provides the direction.
Not religion, but the deeply personal values that guide a person when everything else feels uncertain.
Knowledge of Grief provides the resilience.
The knowledge and language to move through loss and change without returning to old patterns.
