What Our Trainees Are Saying

  • "These tools are simple and practical, and I use them every week. It just makes sense in a recovery setting."

    ERF Trainee

  • “I was honestly nervous going in, but Lacey and René made the training feel safe right away. I felt comfortable asking questions I usually wouldn’t and learned a lot just in a couple of days.”

    ERF Trainee

  • "ERF helped me understand cravings and triggers in a totally different way. Instead of talking people out of their feelings, I now help them move through them."

    ERF Trainee

  • “We didn’t just learn the material — we practiced it. I remember thinking, ‘Oh… this is what regulation actually feels like.’ That stayed with me.”
