Additionally, you will feel confident in your ability to develop and deliver psycho-educational programs and workshops for teaching others the skills needed to help addicts and their families identify and intervene on the symptoms of relapse.

Relapse Prevention Navigator Training
The Relapse Prevention Navigator Training™, is designed for those who have known the emotional challenges involved in caring for or supporting an addict whose recovery is unstable or is being diminished by a threatening history of relapse. The training is built around a simple but critical premise; the decision one makes to return to an addictive substance or behavioral pattern comes at the end of a process fraught with unsuccessful attempts to cope with cognitive, emotional, physical and/or spiritual discomfort. Since an addict returns to the “drug of choice” to change a feeling state, a successful relapse prevention plan will need to intervene on sources of discomfort and build strategies for healthy adaptive coping.
This training begins with helping individuals gain a mastery level understanding of the relapse prevention course material so that participants can help others discern and intervene on their own personal relapse process.
The training continues with a series experiential activities that will provide participants with the opportunity to present and experience psycho-educational lessons taken from the course sections to enhance their understanding of how to teach the course effectively to a diverse population with varying degrees of self-awareness and motivation.
