Abstract
How can alumni professionals deepen their impact without burning out? The recent Beginner’s Guide to Recovery Coaching webinar with Stacy Charpentier, Executive Director at the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR), offers a compelling answer: learn to walk alongside, not ahead.
Recovery coaching isn’t about having the right answers, it’s about believing that the person in front of you does. For alumni teams, that shift in mindset can radically improve how we show up for former clients. From practicing active listening to honoring multiple recovery pathways, this introduction to coaching provides simple but powerful tools that anyone can begin using right awayeven without a formal credential.
Whether you’re leading a support group or checking in one-on-one, recovery coaching can help alumni feel seen, heard, and empowered in their next chapter.
