PO - Increase Training & Certification of Peer Recovery Coaches
Go to Potential Measures
Examples of a Description for this Objective
Extensive use of peer recovery coaches is likely to be more successful if there is increased training for people who wish to be peer recovery coaches. It is our plan to not only provide training for people who which to be peer recovery coaches but to also increase the number of people who are certified as peer recovery coaches. This should not only help them in their own recovery, but it will also help them earn a living.
Examples of a From-To Gap
| Current State | Desired State |
| Many people in recovery who would like to use their lived experience to help others do not have the skills or confidence to be effective peer recovery coaches. | Following a high-quality training program, people who desire to be a peer recovery coach can be effective and successful in helping others. |
| People looking for a recovery coach have no way of knowing if a person they might work with is trained or qualified | After receiving training, peer recovery coaches can get certified. This would help people seeking recovery coaching to know that they person who was coaching them was trained and had some reasonable level of qualification. |
| There is no way to easily find a recovery coach | There would be a directory of certified peer recovery coaches. |
