Peer Support Group Reflection Pape
For this assignment students should attend a self-help group related in some way to addiction. The point is for students to attend meetings with which they are unfamiliar.
*Your reflection paper should be from first person point of view: I, your thoughts, your feelings, etc.
Some acceptable types of self-help groups include:
· SMART recovery
· Any variety of Twelve step meeting (e.g. NA, AA, CODA, SAA, GA, etc.)
· Any variety of Twelve step meeting for persons affected by another’s addiction (e.g. Al-Anon, or anon- for other addictions)
· Life Ring
· Sixteen step meetings
· Any alternate pre-approved by your instructor
Your instructor is one source of information about meetings in the community, but students should also take responsibility for their own research. A quick Google search using the name of your town or city plus “self help”, “addiction meetings” and the like should turn up intriguing possibilities.
