Hi! I am Dr. Donna Poppendieck, more commonly known in the college classroom as Dr. P. I have been involved in the addiction treatment and prevention community for about 20 years or more and have taught mental health in universities for about 15 years. I also have a master’s degree in Health and Wellness Coaching.

Having grown up in a family with drug abuse, and having successfully healed myself from autoimmune disease, I am always interested in exploring legitimate, evidence-based pathways to full and complete health and recovery – in thoughts, feelings, body, and spirit – for any and all interested people. This course reviews principles of coaching in general and as it relates to peer recovery support. I hope you enjoy the course!
