Above Board – All Hands on Deck and the Kennebunk Police Department have joined forces with ENSO Recovery to Combat Maine’s Opioid Epidemic by launching the Kennebunk Recovery Coach Academy in January 2019.
Recovery coaches serve as personal guides and mentors for people on their journey of recovery, suggesting strategies and resources to aid in managing the transformative nature of recovery, and empower the recoveree to sustain a productive and fulfilling life.
Based on the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery Model (CCAR), the 30 hour training program provides participants with information on guiding principles of recovery, distinguishing the addiction counselor/recovery coach and sponsor/guide, keeping up with changes, boundary issues, self-care, referral skills, crisis intervention, recovery wellness plans, cultural competence, professional development, sexual harassment, values and differences, pathways to recovery, stages of change, motivational interviewing, spirituality and religion, privilege and power, listening and communication skills, and much more.
