New Life Discovery Program

The Blog

The foundation of the New Life Discovery Project’s programming is comprised of four core modules providing a whole life discovery process that encompasses the body, mind, and spirit, as well as family and community relationships, Job readiness, vocational and career development, and education. Each module has four elements:

  • Personal Counseling and Coaching
  • Education
  • Group Processes
  • Practical Application

The curriculum is evidenced based and represents the most effective interventions, information, and methods which lead to sustainable life changes and identity. Each element is strength based and designed to empower our clients to embrace and discover a New Life with purpose, community, and values. Our program is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather is tailored to the individual needs of our clients.

Breaking the Bondage of Addiction

by

New Life Discovery Project is not a 12-Step Facilitation program. We believe addiction is a compulsive habit deeply rooted in emotional and psychological feelings of powerlessness, trauma, and personal pain and suffering. We do not believe that addiction is a chronic and irreversible decease or moral failing, but that the mind is both powerful, capable of changing, learning new coping skills, and being restored. As such, New Life Discovery Project’s addiction programming is focused on individual counseling, therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT), and other strength based interventions which have demonstrated the most effective outcomes and motivate people to sustainable change.

The Spiritual Mind

by

New Life Discovery Project is a faith based, Christ Centered program grounded in the Biblical values of the transformational power of God’s love as it is poured out to us through reconciliation, freedom, and identity in the redemptive work of Christ through grace, faith, and love. In Christ we are new creations and the old is gone. Discovering our new identities and purpose in Christ is an essential part of our whole life program. However, New Life Discovery Project is not a discipleship program. Faith and spiritual values are part of our whole life approach and is most effective when it is integrated as part of our whole of life program.
