Amanda’s Journey with INSPIRE

✨ Friday Success Story: Amanda’s Journey with INSPIRE ✨

Meet Amanda, Program Manager at AHN’s Center for Recovery Medicine. When she stepped into a leadership role, Amanda realized she needed more tools to effectively support her recovery specialist teammates. That’s when she discovered the INSPIRE program, and it changed everything.

Through INSPIRE, Amanda gained valuable knowledge about the Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS) training—helping her better guide her team and provide stronger support to individuals in recovery. The program even covered her course and exam fees, making it an opportunity she’s truly grateful for.

"INSPIRE gave me the tools to ‘pick up where the course left off,’ and better support my team in challenging situations," Amanda shares.

Today, she uses motivational interviewing and harm reduction strategies to empower individuals on their unique recovery journeys. For Amanda and her team, success isn’t just about abstinence—it’s about reducing harm and encouraging progress, one step at a time.

Thank you, Amanda, for your dedication and passion in supporting recovery. Your work is making a real impact
