Which role helps establish a support network for the recoveree and serves as a connector?

• A. Ally and Confidant
• B. Truth-Teller
• C. Community Organizer
• D. Advocate

Answer: (C)

Building a support network around the recoveree and actively connecting them with people, services, and resources is the hallmark of the Community Organizer role. This person maps out available supports—peers, family, recovery groups, healthcare and social services, housing, employment—and then brings them together, coordinating introductions and helping the recoveree navigate access barriers so the network is reliable and sustainable. While an Ally and Confidant provides trust and safety, a Truth-Teller offers direct feedback, and an Advocate pushes for rights and resources, the Community Organizer specializes in creating and sustaining the web of connections that the recoveree can rely on over time. Think of them as the person who builds and maintains the network that supports ongoing recovery.
