A Recovery Ally is a person who strives to eliminate the injustices faced by people in or seeking recovery from a substance use disorder by creating recovery friendly environments where individuals, families, and communities can thrive. Recovery Ally Training prepares Bobcats with the knowledge, skills, and tools to act as Recovery Allies and to create a campus community where students are supported and celebrated.

In order to become a Recovery Ally, university community members attend a Recovery is Spoken Here (RISH) training. In this training, Bobcats learn:

• Recovery-friendly language
• Challenges faced by students in recovery
• Warning signs of substance misuse or other addictive behaviors
• How to support students and foster a recovery-friendly campus environment
• Information on the Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC) and other resources

Participants will receive a sticker and bracelet upon completing the training. 

If you are interested in becoming a Recovery Ally, or if you would like to schedule a Recovery is Spoken Here presentation for your classroom or organization, please contact crc@ohio.edu.
