It is a well known fact that a significant percentage of persons with Substance Use Disorder also report a history with trauma. Peer Recovery Professionals are often on the front line of interacting with individuals whose past traumas can easily be triggered absent an intentional and empathetic approach by the caregiver.

• Being informed about trauma and strive to avoid re-traumatization

“I enjoyed the class it was very informative and Sandy did a great job keeping our interest.”
”The training and facilitator (Sandy) were excellent and I could not improve either.”
”I believe TIC needs to be required as part of foundational recovery coaching training!”
“This course should be mandatory for every recovery coach and every health-care provider.”
“Hurt is hurt, and every time we honor our own struggle and the struggle of others by responding with empathy, the healing that results affects us all.”
