THE HAPPIER LIFE PROJECT ACTIVITIES AGREEMENT

ABOUT US
The Happier Life Project is a Recovery Community Organization that shifts perspective reduces stigma, and provides hope around recovery. Our foundation of peer- to-peer relationships lets us meet people on their chosen pathway of healing and support them in discovering the answers to their wellness. Combining evidence- based practices with a holistic approach, we connect our peers to a reliable network of services and share our lived experience that recovery is possible and everyone can achieve a happier life.

SOBRIETY Anyone with at least 24 hours of continuous sobriety are welcome to attend events. Participants who attend regularly should be committed to maintaining a sober lifestyle. We hope that with an active lifestyle and social connection in a fun, safe and accessible way people can gain tools necessary to thrive in their recovery.Our programs are not intended to be a replacement for other forms of recovery, and we encourage everyone to engage in any and all forms of recovery that suit their individual needs. In the event of relapse, people are welcome and encouraged to return as soon as they have met the minimum sobriety requirement. Those who are or appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be asked to leave. Supporters and family members should respect the sobriety requirements and Community Standards when attending The Happier Life Project events.

I understand that in addition to the risks inherent in all activities at THLP , more specific risks accompany each type of activity. For example, rock climbing exposes participants to a danger of falling or being injured from falling rock. Other activities such as strength training and yoga carry the risk of injury from pulled muscles, being hit by weights and the actions of other participants. Cycling exposes participants to risks of falling, being injured by traffic or other riders or equipment failure. I recognize, understand and assume all the foregoing risks, as well as similar unforeseen risks, and accept personal responsibility for the POTENTIAL OF ANY INJURY, ILLNESS, LOSS OR DEATH resulting from participating in any THLP activity.

If I continue to participate with THLP at their community events I agree with the aforementioned and hereby give THLP permission to use my name and likeness for any purpose whatsoever. I acknowledge and agree that THLP has no control over third party photographs or videotape.
