Community Training Offerings
About the Training Center
As a Recovery Community Organization, one of the key pillars of Doc’s Recovery House is community education and public advocacy. Thanks to funding from generous grant makers, we launched our Training Center in 2020 and have continued to grow offerings to educate the public, and the recovery community, on various areas related to substance use, recovery, mental health or community safety and preparedness.
Trainings We Offer
In addition to our Recovery Coach Academy, Doc’s Recovery House offers four additional trainings - CPR / First Aid, Mental Health First Aid, Naloxone Training and Continuing Education for Peer Specialists.

Doc's Recovery House is a Naloxone Access Point (NAP) in partnership with the Steve Rummler HOPE Network.

The Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training teaches participants to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health challenges. This course provides practical skills to support someone experiencing a mental health crisis, reduce stigma, and connect individuals with appropriate resources. After completing this course, attendees will receive Mental Health First Aid Certification from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.

The CPR/First Aid training will equip attendees to perform CPR and provide first aid for common emergencies. This training will also bolster opioid preparedness and enhance a participant’s ability to respond to a crisis situation, as delivering rescue breaths with Narcan administration is the most effective life-saving measure in the event of an overdose. After completing this course, attendees will receive formal certification for CPR/First Aid from the American Red Cross.
Training Length: 4-6 hours
