Meet the RCA Academy Educators

Our educators bring decades of clinical, academic, and real-world experience in addiction treatment, mental health care, and recovery support. Through RCA Academy, they provide practical training, evidence-based education, and insights from the front lines of care to help professionals deepen their knowledge and improve patient outcomes.
Learn more about the leaders who guide RCA Academy’s educational programs and share their expertise with clinicians, partners, and the broader recovery community.
