Recovery Coach Essentials

SESSIONS: 10 | ONLINE | FREQUENCY: WEEKLY | COST: $895 CDN (Check other currency rates here), plus GST

You’ve already unlocked new possibilities for helping those who need it most, but this is just the beginning of your journey.

If you want a solid refresher, perhaps in preparation for the RCP Panel Interview, this course is for you.

This online course runs for 10 weeks, once a week for an hour. Additionally, there are four hours of home assignments between classes.

Upon completing this 14-hour online course, you will:

  • Detail the requirements of the 3-legged stool

  • Learn how to ask evocative, open-ended questions

  • Listen actively, with presence and without judgment or distraction

  • Manage your own stuff and know what it is through mindfulness

  • Treat people as resourceful, genuinely knowing their journey

This course is also interlaced with practice in each of the categories. 

You will be paired with professional coaches who have sat on the RCP panel and know how to best look for improvement.

We will be covering the following topics:

  • Three-legged stool

  • Managing your stuff

  • Treating people as resourceful

  • Active Listening

  • Asking open, evocative questions

EXERCISES:

  • Every second week, we dive into Motivational Interviewing drills with an eye on the subject that preceded it.

  • We use breakout rooms, each with a professional mentor coach, to ensure feedback is the best it can be.

  • We do round robins in the bigger room, giving everyone a chance to experience a “real play”

  • We use shorter and longer sessions so all experience real-world scenarios.

In the time I spent in college and university, I have never learned as much as I have since coming to Recovery Coach Mentorship. This information challenges our own values, beliefs, and attitudes towards the concept of helping people. I have learned so much in the past two assignments. Thank you for the honour and privilege.

Being mentored as a coach is critical in evolving my practice. Being mentored by Still Here has been an empowering and transformational experience.

The Mentorship Program gave me the tools and resources I needed to actually launch my recovery coaching business. From finding my first client and developing an intake form to the initial consultation and subsequent sessions, I was supported and encouraged every step of the way. The program was developed in a very clear and sequential format which seemed to always be just one step ahead, and right on time! Thanks Kevin, Shelley and Rochelle!

I had the privilege of being mentored by Kevin and Shelley in the recovery coach mentorship program, and I can’t sing their praises enough.
Their guidance was not just informative but deeply insightful, offering perspectives that enriched my understanding of the field. 
Kevin’s wealth of experience and Shelley’s compassionate approach created a dynamic learning environment that truly fostered growth.
Their dedication to our development as recovery coaches was evident in every session, and I am immensely grateful for the wisdom they shared. I highly recommend this mentorship program to anyone seeking to excel in this vital role.
