Make Changes to Your Existing SMART Recovery Meeting
As a registered facilitator of a SMART Recovery meeting, you can use our self-service meeting change option to make basic changes such as the day, time, and cancelation notices. When using this option, changes take effect as soon as you verify the change.
To use the self-service change option:
- Locate your meeting on SMARTfinder
- Click on your meeting to show full information
- Under “Facilitators” click on “Request changes to your meeting”
- Make the desired changes
- Check your email and verify the changes
For a visual walkthrough, see the SMART Recovery US video
If you need to change anything to your meeting that is not available on the self-service meeting change, please email volunteer@smartrecovery-canada.ca with your meeting ID number and the changes you need made and we will be happy to assist.
Facilitator Tools and Guidance
Facilitator Toolbox
The Facilitators’ Toolbox is a collection of SMART Recovery tools, strategies, and exercises drawn from the SMART Recovery Handbook. These tools are commonly used in SMART Recovery meetings to support participants in building motivation, managing urges, working with thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and creating a more balanced life.
Each tool includes guidance on how it may be introduced in a meeting setting and how participants can use it between meetings.
This resource is hosted by SMART Recovery US and is shared here to support facilitators while Canadian-specific resources continue to be developed.
Facilitator Best Practices for Addressing Mental Health Disorders and Suicide
Best practices for facilitators when mental health or suicide topics arise in SMART Recovery meetings, including guidance on boundaries, safety, and appropriate responses.
This resource is hosted by SMART Recovery US and is shared here to support facilitators while Canadian-specific resources continue to be developed.
