Education
In this episode, Kate talks to the the mum and daughter movers & shakers team, Naetha Uren and Calliese Alexandra, who founded Recovery Coach Academy. Naetha & Calliese are a mother and daughter with credible lived experience and professional experience from the USA and UK. They are part of a chaotic but full of love intergenerational home (4 generations, age 8-80 under one roof!) When Naetha brought her daughter to the UK nearly 4 years ago, they were looking for the resources and community to support their family in Recovery, but they could not find it, so they decided to build it. Trigger warnings * In this episode we mention domestic violence and death by suicide. Please take care of yourselves. Recovery Coach Academy was created to bring Recovery Coaching to the UK: training, coaching, implementing and supporting implementation. Naetha and Calliese are the FIRST and ONLY CCAR Authorised Facilitators/Trainers and the first Certified Professional Recovery Coach Designates in the UK. They have partnered with CCAR (Connecticut Community for Addiction and Recovery) to deliver the CCAR Recovery Coach Curriculum including the flagship CCAR Recovery Coach Academy© 5-day training course, that is now CPD Accredited to bring recovery coaching to life in the UK. They are also working on Recovery Coaching Communities, a CIC to create a community to collaborate and share all resources and services that support Many Pathways to Recovery.
