The Recovery Coach Commission was established in August 2018, with Governor Baker’s signing into law of chapter 208, section 101, of the Acts of 2018. The commission is charged with gathering data, reviewing training opportunities for recovery coaches and recommending the standards for credentialing a recovery coach. The commission is chaired by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and is comprised of a diverse panel of policymakers, public health professionals, legal scholars, clinicians, and local residents.
