Leadership

A 40-hour commitment that sees individuals gain a level 2 accredited qualification in leadership. We offer a number of variations, both virtual and face to face options are provided.  The programme focuses on three aspects that begin with recognising our environments and beginning to understand them, we do this by looking at boundaries and safeguarding. Self-reflection is a strong theme throughout the course.  With 27-hour face to face learning and the remaining 13 hours being made up of self-reflection and exploration. The course focuses on leadership on an individual level, improving who we are as individuals while recognising and respecting diversity. Once we have established who we are and how we behave we look at how we impact others.  Finally, we explore how we can reflect on what we deem is ‘wrong’ about our past, and use is as something ‘strong’ for employers. 

The face to face course is an intensive three-day event.  The virtual course is a softer approach, delivered over 12 weeks at 3.5 hours a week.

Service User, Criminal Justice System, 2024

I began attending a Red Rose Recovery group in July 2022, eager to start my recovery journey. This was my first encounter with a lived experience recovery organization, and it captivated me from the start. I had lost myself and my health, struggling with addiction for about six months. My previous life involved fitness and even training others, a stark contrast to my current situation.

After multiple health scares and warnings, I was placed in a dedicated support area. There, I met representatives from the organization, who offered me guidance and support. I participated in their weekly group meetings, and they quickly became a source of hope and motivation for me.

During my journey, I completed various courses, focusing on community development and understanding trauma. These experiences helped me recognize past experiences and build the skills to advocate for myself and others.

I also participated in a public speaking program, gaining the confidence to share my story and inspire others. This culminated in a presentation where I delivered a powerful message of hope and perseverance, encouraging individuals to never give up on their journey.

Red Rose Recovery has invested time and energy in me, providing me with the focus and hope I lacked before. After my release, I aspire to inspire others through my own story and contribute to positive change.

I am currently in a coaching program, further solidifying my recovery foundation before my parole hearing.
