The Ubuntu Addiction Community Trust is a non profit and public benefit organisation that supports individuals, families, organisations and communities in addressing substance use disorders. David Collins, the founder of UACT, recognized that recovery coaching could add a forward thinking, solutions driven approach to the therapeutic and group support work already supporting the addiction space in South Africa. In 2016, UACT established a Workplace platform to support and empower professional recovery coaches as they complete practice hours for certification, build and maintain recovery coaching businesses, and create supportive communities of practice.
