TESTIMONIALS

What People Are Saying About Us.

"I received a scholarship to the Recovery Coach Academy in June of 2019. It completely changed my life! Today I am a Recovery Coach for Sobriety First Treatment Center, and I get to pay it forward every day! Thank you, Recovery Community Network and the Minnesota Recovery Connection, for the amazing opportunity!"— Recovery Coach Academy Attendee, Tony DeCristofaro, CPRS

"What a fantastic opportunity to be able to learn how to serve others in a space where we have all personally traveled. Understanding the work of a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist puts into perspective how far we truly have come. There is nothing greater than giving back, and this space allows us to do just that!"— ED Minnesota Recovery Connection, Cynthia Garcia Magallanes

"A continuum of care is vital to the success of someone recovering from a substance use disorder. Addiction treatment lays the foundation for recovery; however, it is after treatment when the real work begins. By having a bona fide Recovery Community Organization in town, the St. Cloud region is able to provide a robust network of resources for those in or seeking recovery. The St. Cloud State University Recovery Resource Center is proud to partner with the RCN through collaboration and by providing a safe and supportive community for students in recovery."
— Former SCSU Recovery Coordinator, Thaddeus Rybka

"I just want to reach out and say thank you for having an amazing class, Sean was a great instructor. As a case manager I'm thankful to be trained just in case. As someone who recently lost 2 relatives to OD's, I'm thankful this may help stop more families from losing loved ones. I also wanted to add that Sean mentioned a great point about a lot of folks not knowing as much about the Somali culture. I recently did a Somali culture training course and found it to be really helpful as I'm from St. Cloud and never knew much despite growing up with Somali classmates. If you ever offer a training for that I'd love to come to that training as well as I think it's much needed as well! Thank you again!!" - Oliver C.
