The Indigenous Recovery Coach Program—Aapai’tsi’taappii’saam—is now hiring a full-time Indigenous Recovery Coach. The Recovery Coach will specialize in co-facilitating the 12-step day treatment program, promoting traditional teachings. The recovery Coach will present informative material on goal setting and skill development while promoting healthy coping mechanisms through an Indigenous cultural lens.

This position will support a recovery-oriented, community-based and culturally-informed recovery coaching program for Indigenous adults starting or restarting recovery from opioid or methamphetamine use in Lethbridge. The program combines one-on-one community-based transition / navigator services with peer support services and culturally-focused healing.

The Coach will work to expand supportive social contacts in a participant’s network; facilitate engagement in tangible resources to meet physical needs (e.g., stable housing and access to physical/mental health services); facilitate access to and engagement in Indigenous cultural and ceremonial activities; and work with clients to expand their personal skills/capacities (e.g., problem-solving and stress management). The Coach will also co-facilitate the implementation of a network of peer supports and peer support services.
