Advanced Academy for Recovery Coaches

CCAR has designed a unique opportunity for experienced recovery coaches to come together to deepen their understanding of the foundational principles of recovery coaching. These essential skills, outlined in the CCAR Recovery Coach Academy©, are actively listening, asking good questions, discovering and managing our own stuff, all while treating the recoveree as their own best resource.

This four-day program will draw upon the vast recovery coaching experiences of the attendees to expand our collective practice and to better improve our own individual art of coaching.

Because this is an advanced class, we ask that attendees consider the following prerequisites before registering: completion of the CCAR Recovery Coach Academy© and at least six (6) months of experience in a coaching setting.
