Recovery Coaching

Building Resilient Lives

Seeking recovery can feel overwhelming. Many people carry trauma, face stigma, and feel isolated or judged. When they reach for help, they often encounter long waitlists, rigid programs, or the pressure to “hit bottom.”
For some, the only options presented, treatment or 12-step programs, don’t fit their lives, responsibilities, or vision for recovery.

At the heart of it, people don’t want to be told what to do. They long to be supported, understood, and empowered to find their own way forward.

Recovery coaching offers a different way forward.

Instead of judgment or direction, individuals are met with compassion, respect, and connection. It’s a strengths-based, client-centred approach that honours dignity, choice, and the belief that every person holds the answers within themselves. Coaches walk alongside, not above, the people they serve, helping build confidence, recovery capital, and a renewed vision for life.

At Still Here, we not only provide recovery coaching services—we also train and equip those with lived experience to turn pain into purpose and professionally serve others.

Whether you’re seeking support on your own journey or preparing to become a recovery coach, you’ll find a place here to grow, connect, and build resilient lives.
