Certified Personal Medicine Coach
(CPMC)
Certified Personal Medicine Coaching
Increase your skills, confidence, and ability to support people in their recovery.
Personal Medicine Coaching disrupts messages of chronicity and hopelessness, emphasizing hope and respect for resilience. Once certified, CPMCs emerge into the workforce with increased skills, tools, and confidence to support individuals on their recovery journeys.
What is Personal Medicine?
Personal Medicine is not a pharmaceutical. It’s the things we DO that helps us manage our challenges. It comes from within us, and is a part of our resilience and inner wisdom. Personal Medicine is an evidence-based practice created by Dr. Patricia Deegan.
What is a Certified Personal Medicine Coach?
A CPMC completes a 12-week certification course to become an expert in supporting people in discovering their unique Personal Medicine and using it in their recovery journey.
What does the CPMC course look like?
The course includes a combination of live webinar coaching, self-paced e-learning and real-world practice. You’ll be guided by experienced instructors who facilitate learning through group and individual meetings. Participants should expect to spend 2-3 hours per week learning and practicing the tools and concepts.
