Recovery Ally Training Online
Monday, April 19th, 2021
02:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Storrs Campus Online Session
Do you care about someone struggling with a substance use disorder/addiction?
When you complete the training session, our hope is that you will be able to confidently support individuals by:
• Understanding the complex nature of addiction as a disease and that substance use disorders often cannot be resolved by the individual simply choosing to stop.
• Confronting myths and stigma regarding addiction and recovery and how its negative impact deters individuals from seeking support
• Using empathetic language when a person chooses to honor you by disclosing that they are struggling with substance use.
• Being available to effectively listen and use tactful communication techniques to respond to those who express the need for support.
• Defining and understanding that recovery is a life-time journey with multiple pathways to achieving wellness in recovery.
• Knowing available recovery support resources that are on and off campus and how to access them.
Join an online session held the 3rd Thursday of every month. Register at https://urc.uconn.edu/recovery-ally-training/.
Anyone in the larger UConn Community is welcome!Contact Information: Jenna Clavette, jec14007work@uconn.edu.
