Become a Recovery Ally

A Recovery Ally is a person who strives to eliminate the injustices faced by people in or seeking recovery from a substance use disorder by championing efforts to support recovery, empowering individuals, and creating recovery friendly environments where individuals, families, and communities can thrive. Recovery Allies aspire to create a campus community where students are comfortable seeking help and prepares members with the knowledge, skills, and tools to act as Recovery Allies.

In order to become a Recovery Ally, university community members attend a Recovery is Spoken Here (RISH) training. The training details what the Collegiate Recovery Community does, how to promote recovery friendly language, and how to recognize those in need of recovery. RISH trainers also demonstrate ways to help someone in need or seeking recovery and summarize how everyone can become a Recovery Ally in order to support students with substance use disorders. After completing the training, Recovery Allies also have the opportunity to be trained as presenters for Recovery is Spoken Here.

If you are interested in becoming a Recovery Ally, or if you would like to schedule a Recovery is Spoken Here presentation for your classroom or organization, please contact Neena VanCoppenolle.
