What are Peer Recovery Coaches?
- A Peer Recovery Coach is someone who helps promote recovery from addiction by removing barriers and obstacles and by serving as a personal guide and mentor for people seeking or in recovery.
- As a Peer Recovery Coach, our roles are to be a motivator/cheerleader, ally/confidant, truth-teller, role model/motivator, problem solver, resource broker, advocate, community organizer, lifestyle consultant, friend/companion.
- We are NOT: a sponsor, counselor, nurse/doctor, attorney/lawyer or priest/minister/rabbi.
- Our 4 goals:
- Promote recovery
- Remove barriers
- Connect people with recovery support services
- Encourage hope, optimism and healthy living
