Exploring Pathways of Recovery

This training counts toward the MA PGS Certificate Clinical Core Competency Coursework

When we recognize that recovery looks different for every person, we can better advise our clients. This training will introduce various forms of recovery, from medication to 12-step programs to cognitive based therapies. Participants will also explore stigma around recovery and how best to support our clients.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

• • Define recovery
  • Name 2-3 different pathways of recovery
  • Explore the 10 different principles of recovery as defined by SAMHSA
  • Discuss impacts of intersectionality (race, class, gender, etc.) on people’s ability/capacity to access recovery resources
  • Challenge personal biases/stigma towards certain recovery pathways

3 CEUs for the following program are available through this course:
