Saratoga Springs, NY, 16th February 2023, ZEXPRWIRE, Dawn LaCarte, Founder of Dawn LaCarte Coaching and Consulting, recently completed the prestigious Love First Intervention Certification Training with Debra and Jeff Jay. Alongside her other academic and professional accomplishments, this certification means she is qualified to provide a truly comprehensive clinical approach to intervening on clients struggling with addiction and mental health issues. 

The Love First Intervention Training is an intensive program developed to increase the effectiveness of helping professionals such as teachers, doctors, and psychologists. By providing evidence-based teaching techniques and real-world scenarios, the training allows practitioners to assist distressed clients struggling with emotional upheavals like grief, substance abuse, PTSD, family issues, and more. This curriculum benefits both sides of the therapy process through interactive lectures and role-playing activities. Counselors and therapists learn better treatment strategies for their clients while clients gain access to more knowledgeable and compassionate practitioners. The Love First Intervention Training helps bridge the connection between qualified professional help and those needing psychological help by equipping helpers with an ever-expanding toolkit to treat a wide range of needs.
