Welcome to SMART Recovery | Jenny Valentish

SMART Recovery Australia Board member Jenny Valentish introduces the SMART Recovery program.
SMART (Self Management and Recovery Training) Recovery is a free group program assisting any problematic behaviours, including addiction to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, food, shopping, Internet and others. Guided by trained peers and professionals, participants come to help themselves and help each other using a variety of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and motivational tools and techniques.
SMART Recovery Australia is a non-profit organisation.
Our Vision: Make SMART Recovery accessible to all people living in Australia.
Our Purpose: Empower Australians with practical skills, tools and support to manage addictive behaviour.
Our Social Impact: SMART Recovery Australia helps people help each other to manage addictive behaviours for the improvement of the community’s health and social well-being.
The first SMART Recovery group started in the USA in 1994. SMART Recovery commenced in Australia in 2004.
