Frequently Asked Questions
A recovery coach is a trained individual who provides support and guidance to people recovering from mental health issues or substance abuse disorders, offering one-on-one assistance, goal setting, peer support, advocacy, and accountability.
A support coordinator, on the other hand, assists individuals with disabilities or special needs in accessing and coordinating various services and supports to improve their overall quality of life, involving assessment, service coordination, advocacy, monitoring, and reporting.
Both roles aim to enhance the well-being of their respective clients, but they differ in their focus and the nature of assistance provided.
