Our own portal
Everything happens in one private place, built for our clients
The portal is Twelve Mile Recovery’s own software, hosted in Canada. It isn’t a course marketplace or a video app with a login. Your lessons, your counsellor, your sessions and your group aftercare are all in one place, and only the people in your care can see what’s yours.
- Lessons open as you go. A new topic opens most days. Each lesson has its video and, for an assignment, a private place to write your reflection.
- Your writing stays yours. Nobody reads your reflections unless you share one, and then only your counsellor and therapist, who can reply under it.
- Your counsellor, a message away. Ask about any lesson in a private message, and book sessions from their open times.
- Sessions over private video. Sessions run in your browser over secure video. There’s nothing to install.
- A certificate when you finish. Finish every lesson and your Certificate of Completion is waiting for you in the portal.
