Question:
Hi! I would like to start a community based fitness/running program for people in recovery. Any suggestions on where to start? Thank you so much!! ❤Krystal
Answer:

Hi Krystal, and thanks for contacting CTB.
Two chapters of our online book may be of assistance as you start.  Under Table of Contents, take a look at chapters 3 and 5.  You may also find the related Toolkit helpful as you plan how to proceed.  I have checked a couple of other sections below that may be of use later.
In general, your early efforts should involve talking with people in the recovery community - including people in service delivery organizations - about how they see the need for exercise as part of recovery and how best to deliver your proposed running program.  Look for persons also interested in promoting exercise and physical activity as part of a healthy recovery.  After getting an impression of perceived community needs and resources, work together with interested others to plan out and "market" your program.  Consider whether it is more beneficial to develop a program solely for persons in recovery, or to build a program that involves persons in recovery running with others for whom running is a hobby.
Your idea sounds like a good one, and we wish you well.
