Recovery coaching is growing as a profession due to its effectiveness in not only helping people find recovery, but staying in recovery. We see coaches deployed in a wide variety of settings. As such, coaches are supervised by a wide range of positio and not everyone who is overseeing the coaches understands fully the unique nature of the role. We hope you will join us for what we believe is a model for oversight that resonates most with the role of the coach – aptly named Coachervision. Based on the concept of “coaching coaches,” this workshop will provide participants with an understanding of how to best support coaches day-to-day and develop coaches for long-term success.

When the ability to work in the Connecticut Department of Corrections became an option, we eagerly jumped at the chance. People who have faced jail time, incarceration, or any involvement within these settings have multiple barriers to overcome, so why not provide recovery coaches who can assist in navigating those barriers while providing support in their recovery journey? There is no better setting to serve as a recovery coach. Many of our coaches know these systems well. The best resources for navigating these systems are people who have used them. This is where our lived experiences will serve us two-fold. Not only do we get to share what we know, we get to share who we are in recovery. Our goal is to prepare you for working within any of these settings. This educational program is approved by NAADAC #195293.
