“This week has been unbelievably inspiring. Every aspect of this training has been beneficial in building my confidence as a recovery coach. I’m forever grateful to the instructors and their ability to provide us with such useful information and for helping me grow as a person.”

“The Recovery Coach Academy enhanced my listening skills, taught me techniques in motivational interviewing, boundaries, awareness of time, and the importance of allowing coaches to define their own path to recovery. The facilitators were extremely professional, informative, and kept the momentum of the group going in a positive and uplifting direction. Being a participant in this program was an honor and a privilege.”

“Spending a week at the Recovery Coach Academy has been very powerful in giving me the tools I need to be more successful in coaching others but also for me to become a better listener.”

“The most powerful skill I learned, I believe, is how to talk and get people to talk, who otherwise would be shy, and get them to open up about their addiction and what they would like to do about it. My thinking was changed in a way that I thought I would always be cursed with shyness. I hopefully will be using my new skills in my workplace to help recovering addicts back to work.”

“I really enjoyed my training at the Recovery Vermont Recovery Coach Academy. After 11 years in recovery from compulsive gambling, I’m always looking for recovery resources. I think that the skills I learned in this class will help me be a better person and will assist me when I interact with others in recovery.”
