CCAR's Ethical Considerations for Recovery Coaches ©

Location: Virtual

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 in guiding someone through their own recovery process. In this training, you’ll learn what ethics are and why ethics are so important when performing Recovery Coach Services, how to stay in your lane as a recovery coach, the decision-making process, how to develop guidelines for making ethical decisions, and apply this new learning to your everyday work as a Recovery Coach.
