Recovery coaching architecture
Lived experience is the starting qualification.
U-ACT trains people who have been through it to become recovery coaches, then deploys them as LEROs. Ubuntu and the Collins Window are the method. WhatsApp is how a person steps in.

Five lenses, in order.
Somatic first — safety in the body — then story, then the resources around a person, then the we, then purpose. Architecture is not a slogan. It is the order of the work.
01 · Somatic
Nervous system first. Breath, body, safety, co-regulation — before talk.
02 · Cognitive
Meaning, story, and choice. What the mind does once the body is online.
03 · Recovery capital
The resources around a person: housing, work, family, community, money, time.
04 · Ubuntu
I am because we are. Recovery is relational, not a solo sport.
05 · Purpose
Kokorozashi — the reason the work matters. Lived experience becoming vocation.
