ABOUT RECOVERY TRAINING

The Center for Addiction Recovery Training prides itself on developing innovative training programs aimed towards anyone looking to master the art and science of Recovery Coaching.

Provided in a retreat-like environment, the CCAR Recovery Coach Academy prepares participants by helping them to actively listen, ask really good questions, and discover and manage their own stuff.

Objectives

Ethical Considerations For Recovery Coaches

March 16-18, 2020 • Goodwin College in East Hartford, CT

Description

Ethics trainings are not all created equal. Recovery Coaches need an understanding of ethics that differs from those of clinicians due to their unique role while guiding someone through their own recovery process. This 16 hour training addresses this critical need. Based on the widely used Ethical Guidelines for the Delivery of Peer-based Recovery Support Services by William White and PRO-ACT (2007), we designed this training to help coaches, and anyone else working in the peer role, to understand how critical it is to be ethically responsible.

Objectives

Understand what ethics are and why ethics are so important when performing Recovery Coach Services. Learn how to stay in your lane as a recovery coach. Understand the decision-making process.

Recovery Coaching and Professionalism

March 19-20, 2020 • Goodwin College in East Hartford, CT

Description

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. Typically you’d find Recovery Coaches at your local recovery community centers, but now we are seeing a greater need for skilled coaches to work in other professional settings, such as hospitals, treatment facilities, police stations and court systems.

Objectives

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.
