Recovery Coaching in Justice Settings

A TWO-DAY TRAINING DESIGNED TO HELP YOU GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO HELP PEOPLE WITH JUSTICE HISTORIES TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES AND CHALLENGES ​

​

People who have faced jail time, incarceration, or any involvement within these settings have multiple barriers to overcome. Why not provide recovery coaches who can assist in navigating those barriers while providing support in their recovery journey, as there is no better setting to serve as recovery coaches.

 

Many Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery coaches know these systems well. The best resources for navigating these systems are people who have experience them. This is where our lived experiences will serve us, two-fold. Not only do we get to share what we know, but we also get to share who we are - in recovery.  This training is meant to prepare you for working within any of these settings.

​

PARTICIPANTS THAT COMPLETE THIS COURSE WILL LEARN TO:

​

• Understand the different justice settings where recovery coaches can serve
