Ethics trainings are not all created equal. Recovery coaches need an understanding of ethics that differs
from those of clinicians due to their unique role while guiding someone through their own recovery
process. Recovery coaching as a peer-to-peer recovery support service has grown exponentially over the
past few years. Ethical considerations have been discussed in many circles, yet formal training has been
lacking for recovery coaches. This 16-hour training addresses this critical need. Based on the widely used
Ethical Guidelines for the Delivery of Peer-based Recovery Support Services by William White and PROACT
(2007), we designed this training to help coaches and anyone else working in the peer role, to
understand how critical it is to be ethically responsible. Using presentations, small group work, and role
play to address many areas, including defining the coaching service role and functions, coaching
standards, issues of vulnerability, ethical decision-making, performance enhancement, and legal issues.
