Recovery Coach Training Class of March 2018

Vermont Recovery Coach Training

Kudos to our most recent class of Certified Vermont Recovery Coaches who graduated last week at our training in Montpelier.

Who are these folks?  They are leaders in the recovery community.  This most recent class of 26 graduates will pursue recovery coaching in settings that range from emergency departments to youth programs.  A special thanks to our partners at ADAP, the Turning Point centers, Spectrum, Working Fields, and Voc Rehab.

What the literature of alcoholism suggests about the nature of addiction.

Go Gray!

New research shows how important color is to our understanding of priorities and emotion," writes New York Times Disruptions columnist Nick Bilton. "We're simple animals, excited by bright colors."
