Matthew Federrici

Jim reconnects with his old friend Matthew Federrici, the Executive Director of Doors to Wellbeing to chat about Taking Action for Whole Health and Wellbeing, a peer-led curriculum that has been evolving for 30 years. Matthew explains that this isn't just another clinical training. It’s a lifestyle practice, much like yoga, where people with lived experience help each other stay well. Instead of using medical labels, the program focuses on community participation, self-determination, and hope. You’ll learn how to build your own wellness toolbox and a daily maintenance plan to navigate "triggers" and difficult times. Jim and Matthew also share their own personal wellness tools for the day ranging from tending to a greenhouse to hitting the gym. Check it out to learn how you can start taking action in your own recovery journey!
