What's New @ Our TRTC Locations

Introducing THE RECOVERY & LIFE COACHING ACADEMY

The Resource Training Center is excited to announce our new training program, The Recovery & Life Coaching Academy!

This new program is a five-day training for individuals who would like to become involved in serving as a recovery coach.

What is a Recovery Coach?

A Recovery Coach is an individual with an interest in promoting recovery by assisting in overcoming obstacles to recovery and serving as a personal mentor for people who are both in recovery, or wanting to be in recovery. Participants in the training will learn an in-depth overview of what being a recovery coach entails, as well as the various roles a recovery coach plays. The participants will gain tools and resources helpful in providing recovery support services, and focuses on the skills needed to connect people in recovery to the support and skills needed to maintain and strengthen long-term recovery.

The trainings are held at our new New York City location at 500 8th Avenue, Suite 907 New York NY 10011! Our state of the art equipment, and dynamic training staff will provide participants with a valuable learning experience they won't soon forget. The Recovery Coach Movement is going strong, and The Resource Training Center's Recovery & Life Coaching Academy has trained more Recovery Coaches than any other provider in New York.

It was a joyous and inspirational evening.  We hope to have a fall graduation as well!

Anthony Anderson, one of our graduates, had dropped out of high school and college, even though he is 6'10" and was a top draft choice for basketball.  He began working at Arms Acres a few years ago as a milieu staff.  He completed
our CASAC program and his mom and 87 year old grandmother surprised him by coming to graduation.  As he spoke about them, he told the crowd he was 44 years old and this was his first time attending a graduation.  Check out this pic of Grandma....look at the smile!

   Alive @25

AMHERST, N.Y. (WIVB) - Young drivers got a chance to find out how texting impairs driving without putting themselves in real danger.

The Resource Training Center held this demonstration Saturday at the Boulevard Mall in Amherst.

State Police were on hand.

Participants could climb in a simulator to show what it's like to text while driving, crash then be taken to the hospital.

Monica Farrar of the Resource Training Center said, "We're trying to keep our youth safe, we know that the technology is out there. And just driving, anywhere you see people constantly on the phone and texting still. So we want to provide the education to keep people safe."

Through its new "Alive at 25" program, the resource training center encourages young people to practice safe driving, including not using the phone and staying sober at the wheel.
