RESPONSE REQUESTED


AICDAC Recovery HUB has developed 3 surveys and is asking for feedback to help identify ways the HUB can support Recovery Support Service Workforce Development and Recovery Friendly Workplace initiatives in Region 6 & 7 and we are seeking your input. The flyers containing survey links can be viewed and downloaded by clicking the orange underlined segments. All 3 surveys on 1 flyer can be viewed and downloaded HERE.


Recovery Support Service Workforce Survey

As part of our Recovery Workforce Development initiative, the AICDAC Recovery HUB is asking for input from individuals who are providing or interested in providing Recovery Support Services. Over the years, many people have been trained to become Certified Recovery Specialists, Certified Family Recovery Specialists and Recovery Coaches with intent to work and/or volunteer in recovery support roles. We want to know how that has taken shape over time. This survey is for CRSs, CFRSs and Recovery Coaches to complete and will take about 5 minutes.


Recovery Support Service Provider Survey

As part of our Recovery Workforce Development initiative, the AICDAC Recovery HUB is asking for input from organizations that are providing or interested in providing Recovery Support Services. Over the years, many people have been trained to become Certified Recovery Specialists, Certified Family Recovery Specialists and Recovery Coaches with intent to work and/or volunteer in recovery support roles. We want to know how that has taken shape from an organizational perspective. This survey is for organizations that employ or otherwise utilize CRSs, CFRSs, or Recovery Coaches in their programs and operations and will take about 5 minutes to complete.


Recovery Friendly Workplace Survey

As part of our Recovery Friendly Workplace initiative, the AICDAC Recovery HUB is asking for input to help us connect with employers from a variety of sectors that hire/employ individuals in recovery from substance use disorders. The Recovery HUB intends to build and maintain a list of businesses and organizations that are recovery friendly throughout regions 6 and 7, promote and market the lists throughout the regions, and engage with employers to build relationships and provide any needed training and technical assistance related to employing individuals in recovery. This survey is for anyone to complete and let the Recovery HUB know what businesses or organizations in your community hire/employ individuals in SUD Recovery. These places can be from any sector of employment possibilities and the time to complete varies on the amount of input.
