How do you become a sober coach?

Strong communication skills, empathy, and knowledge of recovery strategies are essential, and some coaches pursue certifications in addiction counseling or related fields to enhance credibility.

The choice depends on the level of support needed and the client's recovery plan.

Use your passion for exercise and your friendly personality to support people on their journey to long-term sobriety. As a Strides in Recovery assistant coach / mentor, you will walk, jog or run with small groups of the newly sober who are receiving treatment at a West LA program. You do NOT need to be a serious runner. You do need to be capable of walking/jogging several miles while being a good listener and engaging in supportive conversation.

Exercise, and especially exercise done toward a goal and with a team, has been clinically proven to promote the mindset needed to stay sober and reduce the risk of relapse. Training for this role will include an overview of the causes and treatment for addiction, with an emphasis on the physical, emotional, and mental health benefits of exercise in early recovery.

The first-year post-addiction treatment relapse rate is 40-60%, and since the pandemic, the number of overdose deaths has been climbing. You will be part of bringing those numbers down! Together, we will support recovery. Together, we will change lives.

Teams:

Sundays 9:00-10:30 a.m.

Sundays 11:00-12:30 p.m.

Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:30 - 5:00 p.m.
