To thrive in a Collegiate Recovery role, you need strong counseling or peer support skills, a background in addiction recovery, and often a related degree or certification such as Certified Recovery Peer Specialist (CRPS) or equivalent. Familiarity with student support software, case management systems, and recovery program frameworks like 12-step facilitation is typically required. Compassion, active listening, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to foster trust are key soft skills for supporting students in recovery. These skills and qualifications are crucial for creating a supportive, effective environment that helps students sustain recovery while navigating academic and social challenges.
