Building Recovery Ready Communities - This project aims to embed diversity, equity and inclusive principles into the recovery-oriented system of care (ROSC), train and pay a stipend to a group of 10 Black, Indigenous, (and) People of Color (BIPOC) Recovery Coaches. The funding will enable the BIPOC Recovery Coaches to receive workforce development trainings that can help prepare them to take on a mentor role while also giving them skills to strengthen their recovery. The project has an overall goal to prepare BIPOC Recovery Coaches with skills that can help facilitate change with the members they work with; specifically, those in the black and brown communities. The diversity of the community we serve calls us to prioritize diversifying the recovery coach workforce. This goal will be completed by organizing topics that will be covered in the training, recruiting skilled trainers, and developing materials for the training. To ensure that this training/mentorship program has fulfilled the overall goal, evaluations will be conducted both during and after the program is complete.
