What is the LIFT Online Learning Program
and how does it work?

LIFT Online Learning is the online version of Tim Fletcher’s highly successful RE/ACT program (Recovery Education for Addictions and Complex Trauma). Our most popular program is our LIFT Live Online Learning Basic program, taught via Zoom® by our team of trained facilitators. Participants who are in need of coaching have the option to connect with someone who can give them a weekly support session.

Join from anywhere. Taught online via Zoom.
6 schedule choices across different time zones
One-on-one coaching option for LIFT Live Students

The LIFT Online Learning program consists of watching lecture videos, answering focus questions, and group classroom discussion with facilitators and fellow students. The program curriculum is delivered in two Phases.

1. Watching lecture videos.
2. Answering focus questions
3. Group Classroom Discussion and Coaching

Participants in LIFT Live Online Learning must participate in each scheduled group session (aside from excused absences) in order to receive a certificate for the course. The meetings are important for offering support, facilitating a community atmosphere, and allowing for class discussion. All programming is available in English for participants age 18+, apart from any location offering our ACCEL program, geared specifically for teenagers.

*Please note that the LIFT Self-Study program is self-guided and does not include group discussion or access to 1-on-1 coaching - see details in the LIFT Program Options section below.

“Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.” - Gabor Mate

Trauma is someone’s response to a deeply scary or harmful event that makes them unable to cope. Complex Trauma is defined as the response to an ongoing environment of danger where one never feels safe. This response constantly signals a stress response such as fight, flight or freeze. It affects every aspect of a person - their bodies, relationships, brains and ability to have a spiritual connection. Tim Fletcher has identified 60 Characteristics of Complex Trauma which may help you put the pieces together as to how it may have affected you.

  • You will need:

    • An active email account

    • Zoom® Video Conferencing App (Free)

    • Adobe Reader (Free) to access the materials

    • WhatsApp® (Optional) to join your group chat and stay connected on your mobile device

  • Yes, we ask that all participants stay on camera throughout the meetings to create a safe atmosphere for everyone. All participants will have signed rules and confidentiality documents, making sure that no one else is watching or listening to the meetings. This way, all information shared is kept confidential.

  • Each participant will be expected to watch a 30-40 minute video before the class and answer some focus questions relating to the video.

  • One facilitator (sometimes a LIFT trainee or supervisor will be there to shadow) plus 10 people maximum. This small group size helps create a safe, connected environment and gives everyone lots of time to share and discuss during the session.

  • Your LIFT Online Learning facilitators are all people who have gone through the LIFT or RE/ACT program themselves and understand Complex Trauma through their own experiences and healing journeys. They are trained in our COMPASS program in order to learn how to facilitate.

  • Yes, we expect full attendance from the participants, but understand an occasional absence. Too many absences will result in dismissal from the program.

  • You will be sent an outline/schedule, which will include the Zoom® link for your group.

  • Contact the LIFT director to inform them of your absence.

  • For each lesson you will receive a PDF document which includes both the video links and the focus questions.

  • Phase 1 is the first 5 modules of the program. Phase 1 will give you an overview of complex trauma and help you start putting the pieces together about your own experiences.

    Phase 2 consists of the remaining 10 modules and each module will focus on one of the “big topics” of complex trauma such as shame, anger grief, etc. Phase 2 will take each client deeper into their understanding and healing.

  • Our Complex trauma coaches are available to meet with LIFT clients 1:1 each week. They have experience and knowledge about complex trauma and have also learned different types of therapy. They are a great resource for anyone going through the LIFT program because they will be there to support each client and help them go deeper into their healing.

  • Contact Brittany@timfletcher.ca.

    To meet with a coach weekly, there is an extra cost on top of the program fees, but we use a sliding scale to price the session according to household income.

  • Yes, LIFT is an abstinence based program and we ask all clients to abstain from drugs and alcohol.

  • Yes and no. We have one Phase 1 group and two Phase 2 groups. You will remain with most of your group as you move over to Phase 2, but there will be some who end up in the second group.

  • After graduation we have 3 options as people continue in their healing journey:

    1. Repeat Phase 2 - many find that there is so much information that it is beneficial to go through Phase 2 for a second time.

    2. Phase 3 - We offer a weekly/bi-weekly meeting which is free and open to anyone who has graduated from LIFT.

    3. KEYS - an ongoing healing program that meets twice a week and goes through more complex trauma material and topics in depth.

  • No, LIFT is a non-faith based program and open to everyone.

  • We are committed to making our Complex Trauma Recovery Program accessible to as many people as possible. To support this, we offer our program in multiple languages, with special pricing for regions with lower income levels.

Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you. - Gabor Maté

Our programs and training environments encourage participants to look at early childhood environments with a different type of lens; not only focusing on seemingly obvious, (largely traumatic) events, but on all of the pieces that may have played a role. We investigate biological, psychological, social and spiritual factors with a measure of curiosity, compassion and love. By examining the entire picture, we are able to see that several aspects of early childhood can be traumatic, resulting in shame-based identity development, unsound coping adaptations, and unhealthy relationship attachments.

We’re here to safely connect with, and help you explore that journey of discovery - together!
