Testimonials

From the moment the Trait-Based Model was presented to us, I was sold. After 41 years of being exposed to different recovery approaches, this surpasses everything I’ve encountered. It’s truly transformative.

Bill Holland

Certified Peer Support Specialist

The Trait-Based Model has been a game-changer for our program. We’ve seen measurable improvements in resilience, leadership, and long-term recovery outcomes among our clients. Unlike traditional approaches, this model builds on strengths, not just struggles—and that makes all the difference

Josh Murdock

CEO of Eastern Kentucky Recovery Center

As a clinician, I’ve seen countless recovery models, but the Trait-Based Model stands out because it’s not just about treating symptoms—it’s about empowering individuals to harness their strengths for lasting change. Through this model, I’ve seen true success in clients who once believed that success wasn’t within their reach!
