You want to help your clients move away from coping with substances, but you wish you were more knowledgeable in that area.
Introducing…
Charting the Course!
Imagine if:
- You would know how to accurately assess your client’s use of substances and you were able to quickly assess what to do next
- You could use the skills you already have to address substance use and that you wouldn’t have to refer out to another therapist
- You could feel confident in your knowledge of substances and addiction and that you felt you knew how to work with your client in this area!
When you join the Charting the Course Program, you’ll get:
- Live 6-module course: With new lessons and downloadable resources each week. After the program ends all of it is yours for life!
- Resource Vault: Students receive worksheets and handouts to help further expand on information and assist with integration into your current practice. Any future updates to these resources are yours to have.
- Private Voxer Group: Students will have access to a private group using the chat app Voxer. This allows a container for asynchronus conversations amongst the cohort (myself included) about the course content during the program and the during the follow-up 6 months time period.
- Next-day access to replays: Module replays are available the following day to allow for re-watching or catching up in case you have to miss a class.
- Limited space: Students in the cohort are limited to 10 people (max) in order to ensure that everyone has opportunities to be heard, ask questions and rest assured that you have my attention.
- Monthly Group Consultation Calls: Monthly 60 minute group consultation calls for 6 months post-course to allow participants to ask about specific things and specific clients getting direct feedback from me.

FAQs
When do I get access to Charting the Course and BRAVE Collective?
Great question! Charting the Course will begin on Tuesday October 3rd at 7pm EST/4pm PST. Each course session is 2 hours with the replay being available the next day.
Your membership to The BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective will begin immediately upon purchase!
When you purchase the bundle you will be connected to Betsy and Jenny’s registration list and will receive all of the information you will need to access your programs.
I am so busy, how much can I really get out of this bundle?
You can get as much or as little as you want or need at any given time. Each month, you can participate in up to 4 hours of live calls with The BRAVE Collective but you get to choose what you need and leave the rest. You can access The Collective any time through our private community and secure asynchronous consultation app.
With Charting the Course you will have 6 weeks of course time, one night a week for 2 hours. There is a replay for each module in case you have to miss the live session. After that, you will have one hour a month of group consultation that you can attend or not as you wish.
Beyond these basics, your level of engagement in each program will be driven by you and your individual needs.
What is the refund policy?
Because we are offering our programs at a significant discount, there aren’t refund options. We believe that the bundle is a great value for the cost. You have until September 29th to decide to purchase. If you have questions about either program please reach out to betsy@betsybyler.com or jenny@braveproviders.com
What if I only want one of these programs?
We truly believe that both of the programs together offer excellent support and value. We also recognize that each person needs to make the best choice for themselves. You are welcome to purchase one program only, but it would be at the full program price which is $300 for BRAVE for 6-months and $997 for Charting the Course. The special bundle pricing is only applicable to purchase of the bundle.
I need more details about the programs...
