At the BALM, our mission is to work with families impacted by a loved one’s addiction and/or mental health challenges. To do it well, we provide training that addresses the challenges families face and a clear path to helping them help themselves and their loved ones.
Each professional comes to us with a different set of skills and needs. This chart/timeline provides several options for approaching this work. The specific pages in the website give detailed information on each path. The overview below puts them all together along with pricing and timing.
You can start with an introductory overview, choose to go all the way with our International Coaching Federation Level 2 Certification Program or make one of several choices in between.
