Sample Weekend Schedule

We teach our residents how to be healthy members of a community through fostering corrective emotional experiences, one of which is our Community Dinner Plan. Modeled after Nick’s Place’s “Family Dinner Plan,” residents will participate in a community dinner where residents, staff, and volunteers from the twelve-step community will gather and hold discussions about the following topics:

• Monday: What’s going on in the world? 
  • One resident will present an introduction on this topic. This resident will have researched and prepared a basis of discussion.
• Tuesday: Gratitude
  • We will go around the table and each person will have the opportunity to talk about what they are grateful for.
• Wednesday: Where are you in your recovery? 
  • We will go around the table and each person will have the opportunity to talk about what they are grateful for.
• Thursday: House meeting 
  • Residents and staff will use this time to communicate with one another and present any issues they are currently dealing with, seeking guidance and help in remaining accountable.
• Friday: Family Movie Night
  • Residents will watch a movie voted on by the community.
• Saturday:  Movie Night Debrief
  • Residents will hold a discussion on the movie picked for family movie night.
• Sunday: Deep Think
  • One resident will research and introduce a topic on a moral, philosophical, or theological issue or phenomenon.This resident will have prepared a basis of discussion.
