The Recovery Church is a district project (NPNP) as well as a Circuit one, the training provider called Recovery Coach Academy is a major partner of our project by helping us to train and equip future Recovery Coach Professionals in the communities.
They offer a free live (on Zoom) 2hr training for ‘Allies’ (meaning people who don’t have addiction(s) but would like to help and volunteer to help those who suffer or are dying from addiction(s)). Just to remind ourselves that every year in Scotland about 3,000+ people die directly from alcohol poisoning or drug overdose (it doesn’t include death from accident or health complication link to the repeated excessive consumption of alcohol or drugs) making Scotland the highest rate per capita of ‘death of despair’ (academic term for death from addictions) in the western world.
We would like to invite anyone from the Methodist Church in Scotland to join this training on the 4th April (6-8pm) to better understand why, how and what. Just register using this link: https://www.recoverycoachacademy.co.uk/allies
