Recovery Coach Professionalism | Online (12hrs)

Now that recovery coaches are being recognized as having such a profound impact in recovery, many more organizations are looking to hire coaches. Coaches that can easily demonstrate a high level of professionalism may easily assimilate into these new exciting employment opportunities.

During this two-day online course, participants will:

• Define professionalism as it pertains to recovery coaching
• Learn about and develop the various characteristics that a professional possesses
• Understand their personal accountabilities in their role as recovery coaches
• Learn the importance of the concept “stay in their lane” when it comes to working in a large system, like a hospital, court and/or treatment system
• Reexamine the roles of a recovery coach in order to maintain good boundaries when working in professional settings
• Have opportunities to practice and demonstrate newly acquired skills.

Please note: Some certification boards may not accept online training towards certification. As the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) is not able to reach out to individual boards, that responsibility is up to the individual participant.

Cost

Through our partnership with the Government of Alberta and the Ministry of Mental Health and Addiction, the cost of the program is completely covered for approved individuals. This ensures that those who are committed to making a difference in the field of addiction recovery can access the training they need without financial barriers.

Applicants must be legally able to work with the vulnerable sector (pass a vulnerable sector check) and, if in recovery, must have a minimum of 18 months in recovery.
