The Internal Empowerment Program teaches individuals how to maximize their internal empowerment (little i, little e), which is the power that rests within individuals to achieve the life that they desire.

Self-help groups consist of members who share a common problem, often a common disease or addiction. They provide emotional and social support. Internal Empowerment provides training to develop skills to help individuals awaken and maximize their own internal power to achieve the life they desire. Internal Empowerment training can assist people who participate in self-help groups to gain self-awareness; examine past choices, attitudes, and behaviors; and develop concrete plans and methods to make changes to achieve the effective and responsible life they want.
