Sara Riel has developed a model to measure various aspects of recovery.
This model consists of four paths- self, hope, wellness and empowerment.
Path to Self
Sara Riel Inc. helps individuals learn to define themselves by their personal qualities and not label themselves by diagnoses or struggles.
Self-stigma can occur when people internalize public attitudes. By addressing how we feel about ourselves, without these negative influences, we can lessen the numerous negative consequences and create and continue to grow and prosper.
Path to Hope
Sara Riel Inc. helps individuals to recognize their own potential for recovery and cultivate hope for better circumstances.
Hope is a necessary element throughout a recovery journey – it can sometimes be the only thing that keeps us moving forward in the face of adversity. Learning methods to develop, build on, foster and maintain hope are key to our success.
Path to Wellness
Sara Riel Inc. helps individuals find and develop tools to better understand and manage their mental health more successfully.
Recovery is hard work, and we need to keep ourselves strong enough to prevail. We need to ensure we can manage, and balance, our overall health and wellness in all aspects of our lives – mental, physical, emotional, social, spiritual.
Path to Empowerment
Sara Riel Inc. helps individuals to build capacity and provides structure and strategies to problem solve more effectively.
We can often be left disheartened and demoralized when we don’t achieve goals we have set for ourselves – and leery to see how goal setting helps solve problems. Learning strategies to ensure success can build our confidence and competence.
