The Integrative Recovery Team in the Asheville Community Program meets twice weekly to collaborate, communicate, and ensure excellence in whole-person care and engage a caring team that includes a Psychiatrist, Licensed Therapists, Team Therapists, and Recovery Coaches who promote lasting mental health recovery through their collective person-centered efforts. The Team Therapists work closely with reach residents and with their family or chosen family to ensure everyone is on the same page regarding the person’s “Dream Statement,” short-term goals, and therapeutic support preferences. The Recovery Coaches support residents in day-to-day activities, encouraging each person to feel confident in engaging with the greater Asheville community through employment, volunteering, or education, and in developing friendships and dating, so they can create their enriching community beyond CooperRiis.
