| CCAR Recovery Coach Academy at COA.wmv |
Last night, Kevin & Redneck described the CCAR Recovery
Coach Academy at COA to COA's Board members and Directors. This video
shows high points, and also gives some valuable insights into working
with recoverees. Some
of this will surprise you, some will seem like common sense. But it's
all designed to work. There is still space available and until Monday,
Jan. 14, the early registration rate will be in effect.
To
learn more about the Recovery Coach training, view a class schedule,
read testimonials from others who have taken this training and/or
register, click here.
Hurry! Space is limited and once we're full, we will cannot accept additional registrants.

 | Do You Have These Items? |
 |
It's
something many people don't think about, but it makes a big difference:
toiletries and personal care items for recoverees entering inpatient
treatment. Many treatment centers do not provide shampoo, razors, towels
and wash cloths, deodorant, toothbrushes & toothpaste, feminine
products and other necessary items that we take for granted. Yet
recoverees and/or their families are often unable to purchase these
products.
Enter COA and its
volunteers. Several dedicated moms have begun assembling care bags for
recoverees entering treatment. In addition to hygiene and personal care
products, the bags include postcards with stamps so recoverees and write
to their loved ones, and journals so they can begin recording their
thoughts.
Also...COA is
growing! We now have a new office in the Dwier Center for recoveree and
family meetings. And we could use some additional lockers or cabinets in
which to store COA merchandise, files and other important items.
If
you would like to contribute to the care bags or have lockers or
cabinets that you would be able to donate, please contact Redneck at rednecksocmm@aol.com.
