Recovery Coaches are individuals with lived experience who are trained through a 30 hour Recovery Coach Academy to assist in removing barriers and obstacles to recovery and serve as a personal guide and mentor for people seeking or already in recovery. SVPC also requires that Recovery Coaches receive 12 hours of training in Ethical Considerations for Recovery Coaching. Recovery Coaches are employed by SVPC and adhere to the Code of Ethical Conduct set forth by The New York Certification Board as well as organizational policy and procedures developed by SVPC. If you are an individual who would like to work with a Recovery Coach, please call the Peer Engagement Specialist at (315) 713-4861.
