There are many meanings, but the simplest answer is that there are 12 Seats, 2 Facilitators, and 1 "Focus Area" at each Roundtable.

12-2-1 naturally grew out of more than (60) years of combined experience in Addiction, Mental Health, and Criminal Justice treatment. The authors were led to expand on their work with the Principles and Processes of the Stages of Change Model, and this work has further developed into the 12-2-1 Target.

The Stages of Change, or Transtheoretical Model, was developed by Drs. Prochaska and DiClemente as a way of explaining how people change, and is used worldwide.

The 12-2-1 Roundtable process is a new way of delivering services; they are not therapy in the traditional sense. Roundtables are disarming and get people talking as they answer targeted questions.

Frequent brief interventions are known to be effective in helping people think differently about their situations.

Daily "Challenges" accompany the Roundtables and provide additional insight into readiness for change.

Not at all! Roundtables were developed with this concern in mind. Many who join and complete Roundtables felt the exact same way, and have repeatedly said that they were glad they stuck with it... Because of the lives we have lived, most of us (including your Facilitators) have had major trust issues and haven't liked big groups of people. Each Roundtable has no more than (12) people total, and they can be fun too... (we like a little recovery competition!)

We believe the BEST way to learn about what we do is to EXPERIENCE one for yourself. We offer monthly opportunities to experience a "Roundtable Sampler." These are limited to (10) people and happen every month via ZOOM. It is open to all people who are in a position to refer someone to 12-2-1 Roundtables, and it will give you a good idea of what your clients (or people you refer) will experience. A brief Q & A will be available afterwards. To register for a DEMO Roundtable, click here Hope to see you at one soon!
