USARA has also joined with our partners to hold International Overdose Awareness Day, Southwest Utah Recovery Day, and other recovery events that bring awareness to our community.
Peer Recovery Coaches (PRC) are individuals in long term recovery, that provide recovery support services. PRC’s work with individuals with substance-use and mental-health disorders. Our Coaches meet individuals exactly where they are in their recovery. PRC’s support participants in setting and achieving goals by working with their recovery capital. PRC’s also support people with self-advocacy, empowerment, and finding purpose. The support of a PRC is beneficial in assisting participants in building a community of support by offering a wide variety of mutual aid support groups including All-pathways recovery meeting, Recovery Dharma, Safety & Wellness, SMART, 12-step groups, and CRAFT Family Support groups.
