Mark is working toward accreditation as an addiction recovery coach. After 31 years in the Canadian Forces resulted in personal experience with PTSD and addiction, he became motivated to help others experiencing the same challenges. For over three years, Mark has facilitated MHASO’s Military and Police SMART addiction recovery group, as well as public groups. He also has employment experience as a recovery coach with a prominent residential addiction recovery centre, focusing on military and veteran clients.

His goal is to build his own addiction recovery practice while continuing to developing skills in coaching and group facilitation.
