Healing Starts Here—With Your People, In Your Community

Training Indigenous Recovery Coaches to Support Their Own—Before, During, and After the Crisis

Why It Matters

Every Nation deserves access to care that works—and lasts. But in many communities, services are stretched thin, and support often comes from outside, stays briefly, and leaves.

Still Here Indigenous (est. 2023) offers something different. We train people within the community to become certified recovery coaches—equipping them with the skills, structure, and support to walk alongside others through the full arc of recovery.

These are not temporary staff or outside workers. These are trusted local people—community members who understand the culture, the history, and the heartbreak—and are ready to serve.

What We Offer

• Recovery Coach Training (in-person or hybrid)

• Five-day intensive training delivered in-community or regionally

• Aligned with national standards and culturally responsive practices

• Graduates receive recognized credentials (including eligibility for Canadian and international certification)

• Ongoing Mentorship & Support

• Bi-weekly coaching circles led by experienced Indigenous and allied recovery coaches

• Continued learning and community-based supervision to build confidence and sustainability

• Flexible, Scalable Delivery

• We adapt to your community’s rhythm—delivering training on-reserve, at regional hubs, or in blended formats

• We work with your leadership to ensure alignment with existing health, wellness, or crisis response strategies

What Makes Recovery Coaching Different

• It starts with relationship – not diagnosis, not treatment, but trust

• It meets people where they are – before treatment, after treatment, and when treatment isn’t an option

• It empowers—not replaces—existing cultural healing practices

• It stays – recovery coaching builds lasting capacity within your Nation

What Communities Gain

• A team of trained, certified recovery coaches rooted in the community

• Reduced reliance on overstretched or external systems

• A culturally grounded approach to addiction and mental wellness

• A sustainable path to support individuals and families—before crisis, through crisis, and into long-term recovery

This is not a service we deliver. It’s a partnership we build.
