In Lieu of Therapists, Benchmark Opts for "Coaches"
TheWho:
If you read the original post you will see that this thread is built on a misconception. There is no intention on the part of Benchmark to replace Therapists with coaches. What Benchmark has done is taken their existing employee base and sent them out for training.
They sent their primary counselors out for training and also their resident counselors. There was no replacement of personnel done. Corporations typically send their employees out for training, 40 hours typically being a good intensive course.
...
Lain the Odd:
That implies that they had any accredited therapists to switch out in the first place.

cult indoctrination.
Oh wow.. a 36 hour marathon workshop and a certificate from people who worked for CEDU and openly thank Mel Wasserman as a source of their inspiration... I'm sure their coulselors.... er... i mean "coaches" are now far more confident in their ability to "help" people... Whether they actually learned anything useful is another story entirely...
This is simply an attempt to ignore licensing requirements for "counselors" as the heat starts to build.

I am not arguing on how effective the training is because I am not familiar with it. But it was stated that the coaches were going to replace therapists and this is inaccurate information. All the existing staff is being trained... many training courses typically are 40 hours. Any longer and it would not be cost effective to have staff out that long. Any shorter and it becomes LGAT type training which many people do not like. So the 40 hours is a good balance.....

Ursus:
36-40 hours is LGAT training, btw... And it is my understanding that Benchmark is philosophically aligned with LGAT methodology. Correct me if I am wrong here, I obviously did not attend.
Coaching is the new name for "providing therapy at a cheaper rate and with no responsibility whatsoever for what might happen to the client down the road in time."
This may also be strictly a liability issue for Benchmark. The next time they get their asses hauled into court, or someone effects another George-maneuver, they have a piece of paper with everyone's signature on it signifying that they attended "Life Coach Training," or whatever bullshit name they have for it. So Benchmark has proof that they did their part, and "provided training" for their employees. Must be the defective client's fault.
