Friends in recovery

mamtasha22 August 23rd, 2022

Hey hey!❤️ Welcome to day one of our August event "Recovery in school"❤️ first we would like to apologize for the delay in starting our event due to various reasons ❤️ but it's here!!❤️ to find out more about our this months event click here

For today's event we are going to talk about supporting our peers in school in their journey of recovery❤️

Recovery is a hard journey for most of us we try, we get better, we relapse sometimes more than we would like to admit but that doesn't mean that we have failed. Real failure is when we stop trying.


With school starting many among us might be going through a journey to recover. The journey to recovery might feel like a long and daunting process but having a little support even the slightest bit of encouragement or a simple "I am here for you" might go a long way.

We can support our peers in many ways including being willing to learn and to teach everyones journey is different and there's always something we can learn from that. Educating those who might not be familiar with aspects of self harm can help go a long way too.

Being willing to listen without judgement is a great way to support your friends sometimes all we need is a shoulder to cry on, a friend to talk to.

Questions for you guys

  1. What are some ways your peers have supported you

  2. What are some ways you wish your peers supported you

  3. How would you support you peers

@mamtasha22

Well written, Tasha, and it is okay to delay the post hehe.❤

3. You said it. A simple "I'm here for you" goes a long way, more often people just need someone to be there (even if they aren't being helpful "actively"), having someone to keep company, a comfortable, non-judgmental safe space to simply be there and if they ready, to give them a space to talk/ share anything they want, could be such simple (yet powerful) ways of supporting.

Sending love to everyone coming across. ❤
