The Power of Peer Coaching in Alumni Engagement with Stacy Carpentier

This week on the TPAS Drop, we’re bringing you an excerpt from a recent TPAS monthly workshop with Stacy Carpentier, A Beginner’s Guide to Recovery Coaching. Stacy is the Executive Director of the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR). In this informative training, Stacy laid out the foundations of recovery coaching and how Alumni Professionals can spark conversations that help our clients become their own guides to recovery. About CCARAlong with organizing the recovery community (people in recovery, family members, friends and allies) to 1) put a face on recovery and 2) provide recovery support services, we also promote recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction through advocacy, education and service. CCAR strives to end discrimination surrounding addiction and recovery, open new doors and remove barriers to recovery, maintain and sustain recovery regardless of the pathway, all the while ensuring that all people in recovery, and people seeking recovery, are treated with dignity and respect.
