A 30-hour training with Ginger Ross, CRSW and Ron Bodenord

8:30am - 5:15pm (Each Day)

PRESENTATION: This training is designed for individuals looking to begin their journey as a peer recovery support specialist or peer recovery coach in the substance use field; or for those who are looking to learn how to better engage with those with a Substance Use Disorder (SUD).

The peer service delivery model is like no other in the therapeutic field. Peer recovery coaches walk side by side with individuals seeking recovery from substance use disorders. They help people to create their own recovery plans and develop their own recovery pathways. Through empathy and empowerment, the coach builds a unique relationship with an individual in or seeking recovery that is grounded in trust, and focused on providing the individual with tools, resources, and support to achieve their short, and long-term drug use and wellness goals. Participants will learn the peer service delivery model, understand the role’s efficacy and have the ability to engage in a supportive role. As a result of this training participants will:

• Gain a foundational understanding of addiction and the brain;
• Understand common behaviors of addiction;
• Learn foundational skills of active listening and motivational interviewing;
• Learn and clarify roles of a recovery coach and understand staying in lane;
• Gain an understanding of what recovery is;
