Mission Statement
OUR MISSION IS TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN RECOVERY BY PROMOTING LIFESTYLE CHANGES THROUGH ERASING NEGATIVE BEHAVIORS AND REPLACING THEM WITH POSITIVE ONES, SPECIFICALLY HEALTHY RECREATION AND LEISURE.
About This Cause
Our Approach We are a clinical based nonprofit with professionally licensed and trained administrators. We utilize evidenced based practices and clinical philosophy based on Albert Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory and the Leisure Ability Model. If you erase negative behaviors it is imperative to fill the void left with something of greater value; specifically healthy recreation! We encourage and support healthy recreation and leisure. We offer healthy social support. We are not a 12-step program or affiliated with any treatment centers. We support multiple pathways to recovery. We believe individuals can heal. We use person centered language and person centered programs. You are more than a label. We are not anonymous and believe our stories can share hope, education and reduce the stigma associated with addiction and mental health issues. We assist individuals in moving from addict to athlete, artist, scholar, friend, and more. We encourage participants to work on goal attainment in all aspects of life. We focus on the positive attributes of individuals and the future, rather than dwelling on the past. We are inclusive to all individuals. We don’t separate those who are in recovery from those who have never suffered. We can all learn from each other. We promote balance and service. We have a family systems approach encouraging family participation. Our youth program is called the Minor League (18 and under). We believe that families that play together will heal together to make a dynasty home team!
