The ICF Coach Engaging With Addiction Recovery

Addiction Recovery management is increasingly being understood as a client priority in successful daily living. This prioritization may present challenges for support professionals, such as coaches, who are not themselves in recovery and, consequently, may not know how to work with addiction. These challenges do not preclude engagement with the client in recovery. The purpose of this training is to demystify addiction and recovery, and to develop coaching skills, language and tools to respond effectively to such clients. Participants will expand their understanding of these issues and gain confidence in applying this learning in both their professional and personal lives. Three things our audience will learn: How to identify when clients are recovering from active addiction How the addiction recovery process affects the coaching engagement What language and skills improve effective communication with recovering clients
