Course Description

Family recovery is a highly individualized journey that provides a unique perspective regarding the recovery process. A CFRS understands the stigma associated with substance use disorder and its impact on the family. This recovery journey is a voluntarily maintained lifestyle that includes the pursuit of spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well-being that is often supported by others but is not contingent upon the recovery of our loved one(s).

 

The Certified Family Recovery Specialist (CFRS) credential is for adults who have been directly impacted by another person's substance use disorder. The CRFS shares their lived experience with other families to provide recovery support services.

 

The 60-hour Certified Family Recovery Specialist is a peer support position formally recognized by the Pennsylvania Certification Board with Penn State Wilkes-Barre being an approved education provider. Participants will receive education in Family Recovery and Wellness, Advocacy and Support, Professional Ethics, Confidentiality, and Substance Use Disorders.
