Education For A Better Recovery

The RECOVER project is an Erasmus+ initiative led by AIFED. Its main goal is to support people in recovery by training adult educators to use better, more inclusive coaching methods. The idea is simple: when educators are better prepared, people in recovery get the help they need to rebuild their lives.

Why this project matters

People who are recovering from addiction often face many challenges 1 such as battling the stigma of addiction, delaying help-seeking and isolating individuals. Another example of a challenge: difficulties to manage real-life stressors without relapse. Thus, they need strong support, understanding, and practical tools to move forward. That’s why this project focuses on: empowering people in recovery, helping educators improve their coaching skills,

promoting inclusion, diversity, and equal access to education, bringing in new, innovative ways to support recovery.

What are we doing?

With RECOVER, we want to develop inclusive and diverse coaching methods, improve educators’ skills in addiction recovery and personal growth, offer better learning tools for adult education and recovery and finally make recovery resources easier to access for everyone.

Who benefits?

The project helps many people and groups such as adult educators who gain new skills to support people in recovery. Education centers which improve their services with better coaching methods. People in recovery who get stronger support and more learning opportunities. Community organizations which use new tools to better support their clients.

Trainers and coaches who learn innovative ways to help others and finally a wider public who learn more about recovery and help reduce stigma.

What do we expect?

With this project, we hope to see more trained recovery coaches, leading to fewer relapses, stronger and better-prepared adult education providers, educators with more skills in inclusion and post-addiction support and last but not least high-quality materials and tools for recovery coaching.

Who is involved?

Several partners are working together on this project. For instance, SocHUB supports disadvantaged groups and promotes empowerment. As for AIFED, we work on equal opportunities, education, and social inclusion. SiB offers counseling, personal development, and stress support.

Why is it important to work across borders?

Working with partners from different countries brings many benefits such as new ideas and best practices from other places, long-term cooperation and project sustainability, reaching more people from different backgrounds and creating more inclusive and effective tools together.

The RECOVER project is more than just a training program. It’s about building a better, more supportive system for people in recovery. By improving education and coaching, we can help individuals feel stronger, reduce relapse rates, and support healthier communities.
