ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACES)
The most direct line to adult addiction and incarceration runs through childhood.
WORKSHOPS
Each workshop is a complete unit. Facilities can run the full series or select the modules that best fit their participants and schedules.
Every module includes a facilitator deck in two versions (correctional and community), an implementation guide, an activity list, discussion prompts, pre- and post-tests, and print-ready participant handouts.

The most direct line to adult addiction and incarceration runs through childhood.

Practical financial skills for rebuilding like budgeting on limited income, navigating debt, and the basics most curricula skip.

Rebuilding presence and capacity as a parent in recovery, addressing realities like repair and physical or emotional distance.

The daily practices that support recovery, such as sleep, movement, hygiene, and attention to one’s own state, establish a positive recovery baseline.

Recognizing patterns that can support or undermine recovery, and learning the skills to choose differently.

Eating as a recovery practice. Building skills for nourishment that work within real budgets and real settings.

Stress is the most reliable relapse trigger in recovery. This module builds the capacity to recognize it earlier and respond to it differently.

This module frames structure as a recovery skill. Build routines, honor commitments, and use unstructured time without losing it.
WHAT WE DO
Most recovery programs focus on changing how you think. At Brighter Path, we focus on how you live, building daily skills that help recovery last in the real world, long after the program ends.

Created by an OT to rebuild daily functioning, treating recovery as practical rehabilitation, not just behavior change.

Everyday skills like money, time, health, parenting, and relationships that make recovery sustainable.

Each module includes correctional and community versions with the same curriculum adapted to each setting.
