  • Having completed numerous certifications, including within mental health, I can say with full conviction that this program stands apart. Not only in its content, but in the deeply human-centered approach it brings to the work of Recovery Coaching.

  • Unlike any training I have previously undertaken! The Recovery Coach Academy Canada training integrates humanity, compassion, and authentic connection at the core of its methodology.

    — Recovery Coach Trainee

  • This was an excellent course, a breath of fresh air in a typically challenging world. RCAC is being a part of the solution. The relational way they approach recovery coaching is actually a decolonized process, an act of justice, and a step towards reconciliation as an organization. 

    — Recovery Coach Trainee

  • This training redefines how we approach individuals who are navigating mental health and addiction challenges: not as people to be fixed, but as individuals to be supported, heard, and empowered.

    — Recovery Coach Trainee

  • The things that I have taken from these trainings are things that I am going to use for the rest of my life. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to have that!

    — Recovery Coach Trainee

  • RCAC's training has given me tools rooted in empathy, active listening, partnership and collaboration; skills that are essential for meaningful recovery journeys. These are the very qualities often missing in traditional, reactive models of care.
