THE RECOVERED MAMA
Recovery Coaching
Many Pathways
"A recovery coach is a trained professional that is interested in promoting recovery by removing barriers and obstacles to recovery by serving as a personal guide and mentor for people who are recovering or looking for recovery."
(Completed Recovery Coach Academy through the Center for Addiction Recovery Training September 2022 & completed Adult Peer Support Specialist Training through Mental Health of America October 2022.)
"It is vital to recognize that there are many different pathways to recovery and each individual determines his or her own way." Recovery begins when you say it does. You will receive love and education on harm reduction until you are ready.
(Trained in naloxone distribution and education, safe injection practices, and advocate for safe supply. Infinite Pathways of Recovery- Building Unique Recovery Capital Training 2024.)
Advocacy
"Someone who promotes and protects the rights of those in recovery, motherhood, or affected by the criminal legal system."
