Recovery Coach Training
Turn pain into purpose and lived experience into a profession, walking alongside others as they create new lives in recovery.
At Still Here, we believe that lived experience has power. Our Recovery Coach Training transforms that experience into purpose—equipping you with the skills, tools, and ethical foundation to serve others in a professional way. Whether you are beginning a new career, expanding your current role, or simply seeking personal growth, this training blends professional development with personal transformation.
Why Recovery Coaching Matters
Recovery coaching fills a gap in the addiction and recovery field. It is strengths-based, client-centered, and nonjudgmental—designed to walk alongside individuals as they discover their own answers. Unlike directive approaches, recovery coaching honours dignity, choice, and connection, empowering people to build recovery capital and create lasting change.
