Project H.E.R.O.

Created by Southwest Network, Project H.E.R.O. is a recovery-focused program that empowers members to see themselves as heroes for what they have overcome and learn how to share their stories to help others.

Through this positive and encouraging program, participants are taken through four sections – Hope, Empower, Reframe, and Overcome – gaining specific insights that build off each other to drive better recovery outcomes. Members engage in insightful activities, learn practical tips, develop stronger interpersonal and presentation skills, and improve their resilience. Moreover, they work to develop their own “recovery stories” that serve as reinforcement and reward for themselves and become an inspiration for others. 

Participants in this Southwest Network-exclusive program often continue on to receive their Peer Support certification and attain purposeful work helping others achieve hope and independence too. 

Available to Southwest Network members only.
