Alum Program Components
Support Groups
Our Alum Relations Team facilitates discharge interviews for Aster Springs clients as well as various support groups for clients, alums, and their families to help them connect with and commit to the program.
Discharge Interviews
During each interview, the Alum Relations Coordinator introduces the program, answers any questions, and collects membership information.
Discharge Group
Alum Support Group
Within this weekly group, alums can check in, share their experiences, and find support.
Family Support Group
Post-Discharge Outreach
We know that consistent contact cultivates relationships. After leaving Aster Springs, each alum receives an initial check-in, as well as ongoing scheduled check-ins. During these check-ins, recovery challenges and the needed resources are identified and addressed so our alums and their families feel supported.
The Group Me App & Private Facebook Page
The app and private page allow alumni and their families to instantly connect with other program members. Members can post, build friendships, access support groups, track events and milestones, and more. The Alum Relations Coordinator administers groups and provides support as well as holds all members accountable to each group’s rules.
Volunteer Committee
Our alum program is run, governed, and supported by our volunteer committee, which works in conjunction with our Alum Relations Coordinator. The only requirements for committee membership include attending the once-a-month meetings and participating in most alum community events.
