Why Become A BALM Coach?

If you are seeking a professional training program that will prepare you to work powerfully with parents, spouses, and other family members impacted by a loved one’s addiction, look no further.

The BALM Family Recovery Life Coach Training Program is the first and only International Coach Federation Accredited Coach Training Program (ICF-ACTP) to focus on recovery. 

What this means is you will become trained and certified to coach anyone about any challenge facing them, any goal they are pursuing, while also being specifically trained and certified to work with families using the BALM Holistic Model of Family Recovery Development.  Our coaches learn how to help families wherever they are on the continuum of family recovery applying both coaching skills and the effective love-based model of the BALM (Be A Loving Mirror) method of family recovery. 

By having ICF Life Coaching as a foundational part of the training, coaches are able to address the needs of families and others in longterm recovery as well as those who may not have any need for recovery at all. The combination of advanced Life Coach Training and BALM Family Recovery Coach Training empower coaches to meet the needs of families and loved ones wherever they are on their recovery continuum.
