Our goal is to share the Life Course learning and the resources we have to so those with the heart and potential to run the Life Course in their own context are able to do so and see a similar impact in their ‘client’ group.

We believe our materials are unique in the ‘recovery market‘. Our group materials that are not focussed on the addiction but on the onward journey – a holistic approach to living well in recovery which promotes positive living and help identify safe alternatives to unhelpful behaviours.

We seek to break the cycle of recovery, relapse, recovery, relapse and embrace the place of spirituality and finding purpose in enhancing well-being.

The franchise journey is simple.

Start by exploring whether the Life Course is right for your organisation and the people you are seeking to support by attending one of our unpacked sessions.

Then if you want to explore further have a conversation with us to see if you are a suitable match to run a franchise sustainably, safely and successfully?

After agreeing that is the way to progress there is a short enrolment process (the admin element including agreements, policies and payments) before moving on the equip stage when we prepare your team to run the course in your context.

This free session is for agencies, organisations, charities or churches looking to explore in more detail the Life Course materials and is the first step for anyone interested in becoming a franchise partner.
