Food Smarts Adapted for Recovery – Facilitator Training

Description:  This unique training will equip participants to facilitate the Food Smarts Adapted for Recovery curriculum.  Participants will:

• Learn how to implement the curriculum
• Consider best practices for working in recovery settings
• Explore the relationship between positive and adverse experiences and nourishment
• Develop compassionate facilitation strategies

Audience:  Staff and volunteers working with adults in substance use treatment or recovery.

Training Delivery and Dates:  This program includes self-paced content (videos, reflection activities, and readings) and live, instructor-led sessions. Registered participants will gain access to our online training system (TalentLMS) when the course opens in mid August and will need to complete approximately 1.5 hours of self-paced work prior to the first live session on August 26, 2026.  Participants will have access to digital curriculum files and will be sent a Curriculum Bundle.  Key dates are as follows:

• Self-Paced Course Opens: August 12, 2026
• Live Zoom Sessions: August 26, 2026 and September 9, 2026

NOTE:  Although registration will remain open until August 26, participants who register after August 12 may not receive the hardcopy curriculum bundle until after the first session, in which case participants will have to rely on the digital curriculum for reference.

Total Training Time:  Approximately seven hours total (four hours of live sessions and about three hours of self-paced work)

Materials:  One copy of the Instructor Guide and the Workbook is included in the training cost.  Materials will be sent to participants once they purchase the training.

Next Steps:  Upon completion of this program, participants are certified to deliver the Food Smarts Adapted for Recovery curriculum.
