Specialized Team Trainings
Specialized trainings include the following. We personalize all trainings to suit professional and organizational goals.
Engaging with Addiction Recovery
A specially developed continuing credit curriculum for professional life coaches. Addiction Recovery management is increasingly being understood as a client priority in successful daily living, a priority which may present challenges for support professionals, such as coaches, who are not themselves in recovery and may not know how to work with addiction. These challenges do not preclude engagement with the client in recovery. The purpose of this training is to demystify addiction and recovery, and to develop coaching skills, language and tools to respond effectively to such clients. Participants expand their understanding of these issues and gain confidence in applying this learning in both their professional and personal lives.
