Master the Art and Science of Recovery Coaching
Join the British Certified Recovery Coach Masterclass— a CPD Standards accredited course designed to elevate your skills as a coach, advocate, or peer support worker. You're invited to a dynamic 5-day online experience focused on practical, high-impact techniques for both virtual and face-to-face settings.
The CCAR Recovery Coach Academy© is a 5‐day intensive training academy focusing on providing individuals with the skills need to guide, mentor and support anyone who would like to enter into or sustain long‐term recovery from an addiction to alcohol or other drugs. 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.
Day One
✔ Focuses on introducing participants to the concept of recovery coaching: what it is, what they do, how they function, and, most importantly, why recovery coaches are an important piece of the recovery process. Throughout the first day of this academy, participants take part in an array of introductory exercises to help them introduce themselves, and to begin the process of understand the wide scope of the recovery coach role.

Day Two
✔ Moves participants a little further into understanding their own personal biases and how these
differences can help or hinder working as a recovery coach. Throughout the day emphasis is placed on building communication skills in order to help participants understand the importance of asking good questions, without our “own stuff” getting in the way. This day contains segments on sexual harassment, crisis intervention, transference and counter transference, as recovery coaches are peers and will need some basic understanding of what to do if and when these situations arise.

Day Three
✔ Provides participants with an opportunity to learn about the different stages of recovery and the
various pathways of recovery. In order to assist someone along their path, it is important for a coach to have an understanding of the multiple pathways of recovery in order to help match someone with what might work best for them. We introduce the Stages of Change model and motivational interviewing during this day, so coaches have an understanding of meeting people where they are at, and how best to guide them.

Day Four
✔ Has two distinct parts. In the morning, a great deal of time is spent on culture and cultural competence, and well as power and privilege. It is important for coaches to be able to “reach” the people they provide services to, understanding their stories and what their obstacles might. The second half of the day introduces the concept of Recovery Capitol, and its importance in this role of recovery coach. Participants are given time to create lists of local resources in their own recovery community and learn when to make a referral.

Day Five
✔ Introduces participants to the Recovery Wellness Plan, the tool that they can utilize when meeting
with the people they will serve to help set priorities and to create smart goals. Through an activity focusing on self-care, participants then are given time to utilize the tool. A practice coaching session, where an observer, coach and recoveree are all present, allow for immediate feedback. Time is also spent covering some potential boundary issues that could arise, as well as next steps for continuing professional development.
