Recovery Coach Academy
Sean Partch CPRSR-FE, RCP-F
As a Connecticut Center for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) Recovery Coach Professional Facilitator, I have had the privilege of training people as Peer Recovery Specialists, offered Forensic Endorsements, helped hundreds of Certified PRS with Continuing Education Units to keep them current and up to date in the ever changing field of SUD & PRSS. I have written many custom curricula including the Forensics Endorsement that is now used by multiple organizations. I have had the honor of working with so many talented colleagues over the past 3 years. The following organizations have been a huge part of my recovery journey. MRC, RCN, MCB, MARCO, Bold North Recovery, Begin Anew, Reentry Training Solutions, CCAR, FAVOR, SRHN and so many others. The RCLA will continue to support the collaborative spirit and help train CPRS state wide.
