Welcome Students

Associate Study Certificate (ASC) -
Core-Issue Addiction Recovery Training for a Shame Free Witness

FMM's strategy is to raise up an army of Jesus followers speaking life and light into the darkness with their shame free witness. The vision is as follows: The Associate gains an understanding of addiction recovery through post traumatic growth processes and Core Issue Addiction Recovery principles so they can impact their sphere of influence (family/friends), facilitate a recovery group or obtain a base understanding moving toward the Ambassador training to conduct local workshop presentations.

Interested persons would:
• Submit the ASC Course Application
• Enroll in the ASC by clicking the Start Now button to access FMM’s video library progressing at their own pace and receive their certificate.
• Those interested in participating in an ASC Cohort should also email [email protected] to secure their spot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ASC Cohorts participate in weekly organized discussions of selected topics in a particular time frame. When absent or unable to attend a live, Cohort students may submit their homework in a document or 4-minute video

Whether self-paced, live and online or video recorded, YOU can benefit from the ASC! Upon course completion, the student passing with 80% or higher on each video quiz will receive an Associate Study Certificate of Completion, an understanding of trauma model recovery and is encouraged to refer others to the ASC. If the student wishes to advance to the Ambassador level, they will be asked to complete a final Case Study assignment.
