This comprehensive, gold-standard training—approved by the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR)—is open to everyone, whether you’re a professional, a person in recovery, a family member, or simply an ally. The program includes 58 hours of engaging, Zoom-based instruction covering the CCAR Recovery Coach Academy, Ethical Considerations for Recovery Coaches, and Recovery Coaching in Justice Settings, with all materials and tuition provided free of charge thanks to generous grant funding.
