Wellness & Recovery in the Woods with Dan L. | The Way Out Podcast Episode 364

1 hour 21 minutes

In this rendition of The Way Out I’m beyond excited to bring you my interview with Person in long term Recovery and Chief Operating Officer of Wellness in the Woods, Dan L. Dan shares his on his journey to and through recovery to this point, about the great work Wellness in the Woods and Recovery in the Woods is doing in the Recovery Community in Minnesota, including but not limited to a peer support warm line, virtual peer support, and Recovery in the Woods meetings all facilitated and ran by people with lived experience with

either mental health diagnoses, substance use disorder, or both. These services fill a critical space in the continuum of wellness and recovery services that are not addressed by formal substance use disorder treatment organizations, otherwise known as treatment centers and exists along side mutual aid groups like 12 Step & Smart Recovery meetings. Dan also shares about the pathways and tools that were and continue to be instrumental in his Recovery, not the least of which is WRAP or Wellness Recovery Action Plan. I am an unabashed and enormous fan of the work the great folks at Wellness in the Woods are doing, and I have a

sneaking suspicion you all will be too once you hear the tremendous interview that’s about to unfold before your very ears so listen up.
