Volunteer: Telephone Recovery Support Volunteer

Does providing peer-to-peer support to those in recovery; while strengthening your own recovery sound like a good opportunity to you?  If so, consider becoming a Telephone Recovery Support (TRS) volunteer today! 

WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN TRS VOLUNTEERS

People who have been in recovery for approximately six months or longer People who want an opportunity to support others in their recovery People looking for a fun, flexible, supportive place to volunteer for about an hour a week

 

Telephone recovery support effectively extends the reach of treatment beyond a clinical setting into the everyday environment.

Peer Volunteers call a person in recovery once a week to “check in” and help the Recoveree maintain recovery by having the opportunity to intervene early to prevent relapse episodes or re-stabilize recovery following a relapse.  TRS benefits the volunteer by strengthening their own recovery, providing a way to “give back” and builds a sense of community. The Recoveree benefits by receiving peer support regardless of where they live or their recovery preference.   Telephone Recovery Support offers connections to the recovery community.
