Recovery Alignment is a customized program to help you keep the staff you have and easily find the staff you need.
Recovery Alignment Learning Collaborative provides solutions to 3 common staffing issues
1. You know that everyone who works for you has a role in recovery, so why does it always fall to the clinical staff creating stress and burnout? Recovery Alignment will show you how one subtle shift in focus will reduce employee turnover, decrease staff burnout and increase productivity & morale. (This one shift creates instant alignment around a common goal).
2. Your contract holders what to see progress – Recovery Alignment will help you get unstuck from a rigid medical model of treatment that is just not enough when it comes to truly helping people get their lives back from addiction and mental illness. Increase client outcomes and increase staff retention by this proven pathway I call Recovery Alignment . (It's not what you're doing, it's how you're doing it.)
3 . Uncover the biggest misconception about health care integration that is keeping you stuck in a model that is expensive and stresses your staff out. Recovery Alignment will show you how to bring physical health and behavioral health into alignment. Your agency will be the one EVERYONE wants to work for once you sort this out. (No one is talking about this because they don’t know how to fix it. I do!)

How Does Recovery Alignment work?
Step 1 – assessment
Using the Yale Recovery Knowledge Inventory, we will create an on-line survey each staff person will take. Comprehensive participation in the survey will result in an accurate report of the agency’s strengths and opportunities to align recovery principles with personnel and other agency wide practices. (The survey takes less than five minutes to complete). Mary Jadwisiak will create a customized report from that survey with recommendations and highlights of current strengths.
Step 2 – commitment
Your agency’s Recovery Team, consisting of a chosen leader from each department, will work from that report to create a department goal and actions steps. Each agency customizes this process to fit what works for their culture. Perhaps you want to use an existing committee or your management team. We want this to be as customized as possible.
Step #3 – engagement
The plan is deployed and supported by expert coaches. Throughout this 3-month process we will have weekly clinics for consultation and support of the Recovery Team. Clinic topics are: Mission/Vision Alignment; Relationships; and Operationalizing Recovery. Each clinic is designed to coach you through implementation issues that may arise or advise you on next steps.

Lori Vincent is a gifted speaker, facilitator, influential coach and mentor. She has been working with parents, families and youth for the past 25 years. She has spent over a decade working closely with women in prisons; facilitating small groups, resolving conflict and healing trauma. She is passionate about recovery and sees the value of vulnerability, resiliency and accountability. Lori currently works for a community mental health organization - collaborating with families, school districts, law enforcement and other local agencies to support families and have their children (and themselves) thrive. Lori draws upon her own personal experiences of parenting and recovery. She brings validation, praise, acknowledgement (and a little bit of challenge) to everyone she collaborates and works with. She has started and facilitated groups in the local women’s prison and had the first virtual parent support group in her agency through the pandemic. Saying that Lori leaves everyone better off than she finds them is an understatement. Her colleagues call her “the master of motivational interviewing” and “the self-care queen”. Faith and self-care keep her balanced, and most weekends you will find her in nature experiencing adventures with her husband, Jim.
