Purpose

As a supportive dimension of recovery, SAMHSA defines…

purpose as meaningful daily activities, such as a job, school, volunteerism, family caretaking, or creative endeavors, and the independence, income and resources to participate in society.

Reflections: We invite you to reflect and journal on the following questions:

How has a sense of purpose impacted your recovery or the recovery of others?

How can recovery-oriented programs support individuals engage in meaningful activities?

Why did SAMHSA include the phrase “resources to participate in society”?
