Recovery Coaching a Harm Reduction Pathway (RCHRP)

Recovery Coaching a Harm Reduction Pathway© comes just in time for a new phase in recovery coaching development alongside a swelling harm reduction movement across North America. Harm reduction as a pathway to and of recovery from addiction remains widely misunderstood. A handful of leaders in both the peer recovery supports and harm reduction movements collaborated to bring this curriculum to its current form. For Recovery Coaches, this training will increase their understanding about harm reduction; personal, institutional, and cultural bias; and/or lack of exposure to people achieving recovery outcomes through harm-reduction-based means.

WRAP Basics (WRAP)

WRAP® is a self-designated, self-management recovery system that was developed by a group of people with mental health difficulties who were struggling to incorporate wellness tools and strategies into their lives. Although WRAP® was developed by and for people who have difficulties with mental and emotional stressors, it is often used to help with substance use problems and the many physical issues that often co-occur, causing uncomfortable or distressing feelings. In fact, WRAP® can be used for any issue or area of one’s life such as substance use disorder recovery, pain, stress management, or relationships. WRAP® is a tool a person develops for themselves to help themselves – it is not a replacement for therapy, medication or any other tools one already uses in their recovery. It is a tool to complement existing treatments, therapies and strategies. WRAP® is an evidence-based program, is recognized as an effective tool for recovery, and is registered with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
