The Healing Forest Model illustrates that anger, guilt, shame and fear are underneath alcoholism, codependency and other community issues, as an unhealthy root system. The Healing Forest Model stresses that alcoholism, codependency, or violence and other issues must be addressed at the "root system." In addition, the issues must all be addressed together and simultaneously — they are inter-related and they are also interconnected by the roots — a fear-based system. The way to get rid of these unhealthy root systems is to replace them with spiritual principles. The Healing Forest Model provides a cultural and spiritual approach to community development. The numbers in the model refer to the trainings designed to address the issue. These are described on the next page.

The Third Law is that a "Great Learning Must Occur." The Grassroots Wellbriety Wellness Kit is a collection of trainings that provide the foundation for individuals, families, and community leaders to begin shaping their community into a Healing Forest. The Grassroots Wellbriety Wellness Kit is to be implemented in a simultaneous three day session. These trainings provide prevention, treatment and recovery "tools" and "strategies." (The numbers under each title refer to the issues that are illustrated in the Healing Forest Model.)

The Kit is designed to be implemented as a "train-the-trainer" program, in which key individuals would be trained on how to deliver these trainings and then these facilitators would do the actual training in the communities. The actual implementation strategy, costs, and logistics for the Grassroots Wellbriety Wellness Kit can be received by contacting White Bison, Inc.

The Grassroots Wellbriety Wellness Kit (7 trainings) is part of a greater two year community change project. The goal of these seven trainings is to simultaneously implement trainings that will help people in recovery, their friends, family, community and young people. There is an expression that describes what happens when one person in a family group or small community gets sober: "recovery trauma." Patterns of behavior and expected reactions are different, creating anxiety, distrust, and confusion. By implementing training not only for the person in recovery, but for his/her sons, daughters, spouse, extended family members and community will help to alleviate some of this trauma. Letting people know that it exists is the first step to solving the problems that it creates.
