Have you seen the news lately? On March 6, TMJ4 did a story called: Milwaukee-area hospitals now offering opioid-recovery coaches 

"Ascension now offers Drug Recovery Coaches at three Milwaukee area hospitals. The coaches are on call 24/7 to come and meet with patients recovering in the ER from an overdose"

In the story, We Van Epps of WIS Hope is interviewed and shares his experience as a Recovery Coach: 

"We’re here to help them, we can relate. We know what they’ve been through, some of our recovery coaches have been here before due to substance abuse," Vanepps said.

He says there is instant trust between the patients and the coaches. That helps in the long run too.

This story highlights the life-saving benefits Recovery Coaches bring to our communities. 

Please help spread the word to your friends and family in WI as we continue to advocate for Coaches to be recognized and certified by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services and Department of Health Services. 

Help us reach 1000 signatures by March 20!
