Peer Support through Recovery Coaching
what is a recovery coach?
An individual with lived experience who has initiated his/her own recovery journey and supports others who are in earlier stages of the healing process of recovery from substance use, traumatic and/or mental health challenges.
A (peer) recovery coach brings the lived experience of recovery, combined with training and supervision, to assist others in initiating and maintaining recovery, helping to enhance the quality of personal and family life in the process of recovery.
Peer Support / recovery coaching
Peer Recovery Coaches walk side by side with individuals seeking recovery. They help people to create their recovery plans, and navigate their recovery pathways. The unique relationship between the peer recovery coach and the individual in or seeking recovery is grounded in trust, and focused on providing the individual with tools, resources, and support to achieve long-term wellness. Recovery coaches offer different types of support, including:
Emotional (empathy and concern)
Informational (connections to information and referrals to community resources that support health and wellness)
Instrumental (concrete supports such as housing or employment)
Social support (connections to recovery community supports, activities, and events)
Recovery plans and other supports are customized and build on each individual’s strengths, needs, and recovery goals. Sessions will involve a balance of you, the fellow, directing where your recovery will go with one of our coaches as a helpful guide along your path. We utilize a combination of evidence-based practices including harm reduction, motivational interviewing, peer support, and trauma-informed care.
