Healthy Acadia is excited to offer a Connecticut Community for Addiction (CCAR) Recovery Coach Training on January 14, 15 and 16, 2017. The 30-hour CCAR Recovery Coach Training program will be offered as a three-day course at the University of Maine Co-operative Extension office in Ellsworth. Classes will meet from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm each day. Participants will be expected to complete an additional hour of independent study daily to complete the training program.

Participants will learn to:
- Describe the roles and functions of a recovery coach
- List the components, core values & guiding principles of recovery
- Build skills to embrace relationships
- Explore many dimensions of recovery & recovery coaching
- Discover attitudes about self-disclosure & sharing your story
- Understand the stages of recovery

- And more.
