Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) is the leading training for Recovery Coaches worldwide. At its core, CCAR’s model teaches that recovery is self-directed. All individuals are unique and should be active participants in their own recovery process. Recovery Coaches are taught to empower, motivate, and advocate for recoverees to help them meet their established wellness goals.
Everett Recovery Cafe’s team of authorized CCAR facilitators are excited to begin our 2025 RCA Training program. Our team emphasizes the importance of a trauma-informed approach, focusing on collaboration and empowerment. Our trainings provide safe spaces for individuals looking to learn how to implement Recovery Coach practices into their lives.
