MODULE 3: Nationally Certified Family Recovery Coach (NCFRC) Our program in Family Recovery Coaching is comprehensive and will teach you, the practitioner, to be able to coach the family during their difficult times. As much as an addict needs a coach, so does the family and there are no programs available to teach you, the practitioner, how to deal with the family dynamics. The families of the addicts are often confused themselves about addiction and where to turn with some of the issues that are going on within the family dynamic. As a Therapist or Recovery Coach, you are trained to handle the addict but often the family is left alone to deal with their issues without help. They are confused and not sure what to do while their loved one is in treatment to maybe actively using. Often the family has been enabling the addict so long that when the addict goes into to treatment they feel lost and confused. Sometimes they even expect the addict to come home after 28 days or so ‘cured’ and ‘fixed’, but the family dynamic never changes. We know that is not the case, but the family does not. Now, we can offer so much more, including a Certificate Program in Family Recovery Coaching. As a Family Recovery Coach, you will be able to assist the families of the addicts that so desperately need assistance. In our Family Recovery Coaching Program, we will explore all the family roles using Claudia Black’s work and explore the dynamic the family plays in the addict’s life and their own lives. We will cover legal issues, contracts, assessments, body language and defense mechanisms. We will cover ways the family works as a unit, and ways to coach the families in becoming more cohesive as a family unit. In our Family Recovery Coaching Classes, you will learn how to look for underlying resentments and anger towards members of the family unit and how to prepare the family unit for the addict’s return. As a Professional Family Recovery Coach you will learn how to deal with different personalities, educate the family on addiction, work alongside the other therapists and Recovery Coaches that are in the addict’s life and guide the family through the process. Ethics and HIPAA will be covered, Duty to Warn, Confidentiality and all forms and contracts that you would need to start a successful practice as a Family Recovery Coach will be provided.

MODULE 5 : Nationally Certified Gambling Addiction Coaching (NCGAC) As a Gambling Addiction Coach, you will address both problem gambling and compulsive gambling with your clients. Similar to a drug or alcohol addiction, the gambling or gaming becomes a need and a compulsion to not only entertain but remove specific feelings of stress, anger, discord, etc. As a Gambling Addiction Coach we address these feelings, needs and compulsions and provide new coping skills and ways of structuring their lives that are productive and meaningful. “Problem gambling” is any gambling behavior that disrupts your client’s life. If you find your client obsessing over the next bet, the next scratch off or the next win, they need some assistance. If they preoccupied with gambling, spending more and more time and money on it, chasing losses, or gambling despite serious consequences, they have a gambling problem. Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling, is a type of impulse-control disorder. Compulsive gamblers are not able to control the impulse to gamble, and it becomes a source of stress relieve and release, similar to drug addiction or alcohol. Different types of gambling or gaming will be discussed: from casinos, to online, lotto, dice and street gambling, horse races and dog track, sports betting and more will be covered.
