No. The CCoRP is open to all. Most learners join with no previous qualifications. The program is designed to teach Caregiver Resilience Coaching skills from the ground up, equipping you with both the knowledge and practical tools to succeed.
Certified Caregiver Resilience Practitioners are not general life coaches who happen to work with caregivers. We are caregiver resilience specialists who use the coaching modality to equip caregivers or those supporting caregivers with the tools, strategies, and emotional skills to thrive in the caregiver role and sustain caregiver wellbeing.

Unlike generic wellbeing workshops or one-off training sessions, CCoRP™ is a comprehensive system that embeds resilience into everyday care. It combines trauma-informed training, applied psychology, and evidence-based practices with monthly supervision and peer support - ensuring resilience becomes a habit, not a temporary boost.
What makes CCoRP™ truly unique is its foundation: created by a founder with 29 years of lived caregiving experience and over 15 years working alongside caregiver organisations worldwide. This means every element of the program is designed to reflect the realities of caregiving - the exhaustion, the compassion, the loss of self, and the urgent need for consistent, sustainable support.
CCoRP™ doesn’t just teach “coping strategies.” It transforms how caregivers and organisations think, feel, and act - reducing burnout, improving care quality, strengthening retention, and creating a recognised culture of resilience across teams.

Supervision is included as a core requirement of the CCoRP™ pathway. Each Caregiver pays £30/month or £300/year for monthly 90-minute online group supervision sessions. For organizations, costs are calculated per certified staff member (e.g. 10 staff = £3,000/year), ensuring accountability, consistency, and ongoing professional support.
- 09
Supervision is essential to maintain the integrity and impact of the CCoRP™ program. Monthly 90-minute online group sessions provide a space for reflection, peer learning, and problem-solving, ensuring that skills are applied consistently in real-world care.
This approach aligns with professional standards in health, care, and counselling, protects caregiver wellbeing, reduces burnout, and guarantees organizations that CCoRP™ resilience practices are delivered to the highest quality.
Supervision is mandatory at CCoRP because caregiving is ongoing and relentless. Supervision ensures every caregiver receives consistent support to protect wellbeing, sustain resilience, retention and deliver quality care.

Graduates are recognised as Certified Caregiver Resilience Practitioners™ (CCoRP™).
This designation signals that you are professionally trained to deliver non-clinical caregiver resilience coaching, using CCoRP’s proprietary models, frameworks, and tools.
CCoRP certification is designed to complement existing professional qualifications.
While the programme itself is grounded in adult development theory and applies primarily to supporting caregivers over 18, practitioners who already hold appropriate qualifications for working with children or young people (e.g. counselling, teaching, youth work) may integrate CCoRP methods into their practice with young carers under 18.
As a CCoRP, you may:
Work independently, including establishing your own practice or online business.
Contribute within organisations such as carer centres, charities, or schools.
Deliver support in community groups and networks that rely on caregiver resilience.

CCoRP equips you as a family caregiver with a 30-day turnkey resilience program to deliver to other caregivers.
CCoRPs receive monthly supervision to ensure consistent quality, accountability, and impact with evidence based, trauma-informed resources to grow your resilience, energy, and caregiving practice. While we deliver proven tools and frameworks, outcomes depend on individual application, context, and commitment. Practitioners often report transformative shifts. Success looks different for everyone. We empower, support, and guide, but outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Mental Health Practitioners and Coaches generally charge hourly rates of £25 - £250 for sessions. Practitioners can also teach or train individuals or corporations.
Private Practice can generate £10,000 per month with your clients paying as little as £25 per session. We will give you the framework and tools to both coach and to set up a coaching practice: creating your website, getting you active on social media, learning how to blog and create videos, defining your ideal client and marketing to them. We also offer a variety of marketing tools through Business Live trainings, Resource Library and our annual CCoRP Caregiver Resilience Practitioner Summit. The more you avail yourself of these tools the more successful you will be.

Having at least one Certified Caregiver Resilience Practitioner™ (CCoRP™) as a Resilience Lead ensures that your organisation has an in-house champion who can embed resilience practices across the workforce. Unlike one-off training sessions, a Resilience Lead provides ongoing value through:
Workforce stability - reducing burnout, turnover, and absenteeism, saving thousands in recruitment and training costs.
Quality of care - staff who are calmer and more grounded make fewer mistakes, leading to safer and more consistent outcomes.
Scalability - Resilience Leads are licensed to run the 30-Day Turnkey Resilience Program, giving all staff access to bite-sized, repeatable resilience practices without relying on external trainers.
Accountability and supervision - with monthly professional supervision, Resilience Leads remain supported, up-to-date, and consistent in delivery.
Reputation and recognition - organisations with CCoRP™ Resilience Leads can achieve Bronze, Silver, or Gold Partner status, demonstrating leadership in staff wellbeing and care excellence.
In short, one Resilience Lead means your organisation gains a system for resilience that lasts - improving outcomes, reducing costs, and positioning you as an industry leader.
Reduced turnover & recruitment costs (staff stay longer).
Fewer mistakes & safer care (staff grounded under stress).
Reduced absenteeism (healthier workforce).
Higher morale & engagement (stronger teams).
Industry recognition with Bronze/Silver/Gold Partner status.
Every £1 spent on resilience saves multiples in staff loss, sick pay, and mistakes avoided.

Having several Certified Caregiver Resilience Practitioners™ (CCoRP™) as Resilience Leads multiplies your organisation’s capacity to embed resilience across teams. With more than one lead in place, you gain:
Wider coverage - multiple Resilience Leads ensure that resilience training and support reach every department, shift, and location.
Peer-to-peer modelling - staff see resilience being lived consistently across the workforce, not just promoted by one champion.
Continuity - if one lead is absent, others maintain momentum, ensuring resilience practices don’t stall.
Scalability - several leads can run the 30-Day Turnkey Program simultaneously, bringing whole teams into the process more quickly.
Cultural shift - resilience becomes a shared standard, embedded in daily routines rather than an isolated initiative.
With several CCoRP™ Resilience Leads, resilience stops being “one person’s responsibility” and becomes part of your organisation’s DNA - protecting staff wellbeing, improving care quality, and securing long-term ROI

Evidence shows the opposite. Gallup studies show organisations with higher staff wellbeing see 24% less turnover. When caregivers feel supported, engaged, and resilient, they are far more likely to stay in their jobs. Burnout is the biggest driver of turnover - and by reducing it, CCoRP™ helps organisations keep staff longer.
Resilient staff don’t say “no” to their jobs; they say “no” to unsafe overload. This makes them more dependable, less likely to collapse under pressure, and better able to deliver consistent, high-quality care in a positive state of mind.
And while some CCoRPs™ may eventually move on to new opportunities, this is no different from any training investment. In fact, by creating a recognised Resilience Lead role, your organisation signals that staff wellbeing matters - making you a more attractive place to work and strengthening both retention and recruitment.
In short, resilience doesn’t drive staff away - it keeps them healthy, reliable, and committed. That directly improves care quality, staff retention, and organisational outcomes.
