THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY

Individuals flourish when we are part of a strong, supportive community. At Caverhill we help meet that need by building and strengthening your support network through our peer mentorship program. As a valued team member of Caverhill Manor’s therapeutic community, you learn to appreciate and rely on the support of others along their paths to recovery. This is where the individual learns the affect of community wisdom and judgment on personal growth.

Clients acting in peer roles assist each other to achieve educational and therapeutic change through the Caverhill Manor program. Senior peer mentors will provide specific assistance to others through the skills and experience they achieve as they have worked through the program.

As a resident of Caverhll Manor you are expected to be a contributing member of the therapeutic community, through the attitudes and manners you model. As you progress through the stages of the program, you move up through the peer hierarchy. In the early stages of your in-house treatment you will benefit from senior peer mentors. In your second phase of treatment you will become a senior peer mentor, accompanying newer members of the Caverhill community in activities, ensuring them a positive experience and adherence to their identified treatment plan.
