Recovery Coach Training Offered In New Canaan
CCAR Recovery Coach Academy will be hosted by Silver Hill Oct. 15-18,
RE Coach: Recovery coach training is returning this Fall to New Canaan and open to all residents. Due to the interest generated from March’s inaugural event, the CCAR Recovery Coach Academy hosted by Silver Hill returns October 15-18, 2019 and will be held at the hospital’s beautiful Martin Center, 208 Valley Road in New Canaan. The internationally recognized, 4-day Academy provides individuals with the skills needed to guide, mentor and support anyone wishing to initiate or sustain long-term recovery from drugs or alcohol.
The Recovery Coach Academy coming to New Canaan is thanks to community organizations like NC Parents Support Group; members of the New Canaan recovery community and leadership of Silver Hill working together to bring solutions to the addiction crisis. “New Canaan and surrounding communities aren’t immune to the national addiction crisis.” said, Andy Hersam, founder of New Canaan based RE/COACH, a recovery coaching services and leadership development organization. “Even though we live in an area with a very large, vibrant recovery community and surrounded by world class treatment and clinical resources, a significant number of our neighbors struggle with an alcohol and/or substance use issue. Training residents is a way to bridge the two.”
