Hi everyone, I'm Eddy from Bristol but originally born and bred in Joburg. CPRC trained through U-ACT in 2022. Recovery coach, peer recovery specialist, and facilitator. And have been doing all sorts of weird and wonderful things in the recovery space, which has slowed down a bit at the moment but I'm Looking forward to reconnecting with the community, with some of the old faces and the new and seeing how the London Recovery Coaching Campus has evolved, and also hopefully being able to be more actively involved here again, anyway hope you all are well 👍🏻💪🏻😄

Sankalpa Recovery Coach Training (2026) Overview The Sankalpa Recovery Coach Training is a multi-month program running from April to October 2026, designed to help individuals with lived experience of addiction turn their personal journeys into professional assets. Hosted by Sankalpa, an addiction service based in Finglas and Cabra, Dublin, the program is newly paired with a Level 5 Addiction Studies qualification to help participants get their foot in the door working in Irish treatment services. The curriculum centers around four core modules taught by trainer David Collins, each lasting four weeks. These core coaching modules are interspersed with practical skills workshops facilitated by other professionals, covering topics such as Naloxone administration, First Aid, Motivational Interviewing, Mental Health, and Traveler Awareness. Launch of Class 1 (May 21, 2026) The first official coaching session for Module 1 launched on Thursday, May 21, 2026. The launch was heavily focused on establishing a safe, authentic, and non-judgmental environment—referred to as "the container"—with the primary goal of simply ensuring the students felt comfortable enough to return for the second week. Key highlights from the first class include: - A "Bottom-Up" Learning Environment: Trainer David Collins deliberately set an informal tone—partially because he lost his glasses running for the bus—and gave the students permission to swear and be themselves to help alleviate institutional trauma or classroom anxiety. He established that the students were the experts of their own lived experiences and that he was there to learn from them. - Defining Recovery: The students engaged in vulnerable check-ins and shared what recovery meant to them. Participants shared deeply personal milestones, such as regaining custody of their children, stopping alcohol and drug use, holding down full-time jobs, and escaping domestic violence. - The Shift from Client to Professional: A major discussion point was what it means to be a "professional". The class explored the transition from being a patient/client to a professional coach, which involves establishing professional conduct, understanding boundaries, not trying to coach family members, and learning how to leave the heavy emotional weight of the work at the office.
