At Hengoed Park Residential Home, we are committed to continually enhancing the support we provide to our residents. As part of this commitment, we are proud to announce that we have obtained a SMART Recovery licence, strengthening our ability to support individuals on their journey toward improved wellbeing and independence.
What is SMART Recovery?
SMART Recovery (Self-Management and Recovery Training) is a globally recognised, evidence-based programme that supports people in managing addictive behaviours. It focuses on building practical skills, increasing self-awareness, and empowering individuals to make positive changes in their lives.
Unlike traditional approaches, SMART Recovery is grounded in scientific principles and encourages self-reliance, personal responsibility, and long-term resilience.
What this means for Residents
By becoming a licensed SMART Recovery provider, we can now offer structured support that helps residents:
- Develop healthy coping strategies
- Build motivation and confidence
- Manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviours
- Work towards meaningful, sustainable lifestyle changes
This approach aligns closely with our person-centred care philosophy, ensuring that every resident receives support tailored to their individual needs and goals.
A holistic approach to care
The introduction of SMART Recovery complements our existing service, enhancing the emotional and psychological support available within our home. Team members will facilitate sessions in a safe, respectful, and supportive environment, encouraging open discussion and shared learning.
We believe that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey. By offering SMART Recovery, we provide residents with additional tools and choices, empowering them to take an active role in their own wellbeing.
Our ongoing commitment
Achieving the SMART Recovery licence reflects our dedication to continuous improvement and innovation in care. We are proud to be part of a wider movement that promotes positive change and supports individuals in leading healthier, more fulfilling lives.
