Recovery Coaching a Harm Reduction Pathway (RCHRP) is a three-day training curriculum developed to address a fundamental gap of knowledge, skills, and competencies essential for addressing populations affected by substance use. RCHRP does not provide harm reduction training techniques but focuses on informing peer-based recovery support professionals about working with those who are often overlooked in the behavioral and primary health care continuum.
