“Accountability Coach Training”
Helping people with addictions and other life problems.
For people that want to get involved in helping people with life controlling problem like Substance abuse/Addictions and problems that accompany these types of problems.

When a person goes through a “life controlling” problem, they need someone that walks with them through their problem, offering encouragement as well as accountability which assists them in their life change. “Accountability Coach Training” provides another avenue for people to become involved.
“Accountability Coach Training” is driven by the need for people to walk alongside those that are addicted or have other forms of life controlling problems.
