Advancing the reality of recovery
one Roundtable at a time!
12-2-1 Roundtables, a program of Straight Gate, Inc., creates safe virtual spaces where people can move out of isolation, find connection, and take their next step toward hope, recovery, and lasting change.
Straight Gate, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to helping individuals, families, courts, social service agencies, churches, and communities experience the reality of recovery... one Roundtable at a time.
Who We Are
We believe recovery happens best when people stop sitting alone and pull up a seat with others who understand. Our virtual Roundtables create a safe place for honest conversation, accountability, encouragement, and connection — helping people build insight and take their next right step toward lasting change.
What We Provide
What Makes Us Different
What makes 12-2-1 Roundtables so effective is not just one big thing; it’s the many subtle nuances working together that create "recovery synergy."
This synergy, found in every Roundtable, is the shared momentum created when participants, facilitators, questions, connection, accountability, challenges, engagement tools, and hope come together in the Roundtable — helping people move further than they could on their own.
Over time, those seemingly small moments of connection and reflection become the turning points that lead to lasting change.
Connection Comes First
12-2-1 helps people move out of isolation and into honest, supportive conversation — because recovery is all about relationships.
Simple, Focused Structure
Each Roundtable is built around 12 Seats, 2 Facilitators, and 1 Focus Area, creating a clear and safe space for reflection and growth.
Safe Enough to Be Honest
The Roundtable format helps lower defensiveness so participants can speak more openly, listen more deeply, and begin seeing themselves more clearly.
Guided by Real Questions
Participants engage with thoughtful questions that invite insight, accountability, and personal ownership. Our curriculum includes more than 400 Focus Areas, each shaped by the evidence-based principles and processes of the Stages of Change Model.
Flexible for Different Settings
12-2-1 can serve courts, treatment programs, churches, recovery groups, families, and communities with both faith-based and secular options.
Voices from the Roundtable
