At the Recovery College Greenwich, we work within a context based framework called 6Rs Sustainable Self.  Working within a framework ensures we bring the principles of recovery to the learning environment, and the effectiveness of what we do can be measured.  This gives students reassurance that what we do is evidence based.

There are six things we believe that all people need in their lives, no matter who they are, how old they are or where they’re from.  We call them the 6Rs Sustainable Self factors: 

1. Reflect – Pause to notice thoughts, emotions, and experiences with
2. Reframe – Shift perspective to find meaning, growth, or a more compassionate
3. Reset – Break patterns, set boundaries, and create space to begin
4. Restore – Nurture body, mind, and spirit through rest, nourishment, and healing
5. Reconnect – Strengthen connections with yourself, others, nature, or
6. Reimagine – Envision new possibilities, goals, and a hopeful

       emphasizing that recovery is a context based, cyclical, ongoing process that always returns to the self.
