Coaching for Mental Well-being
What is coaching for mental well-being?
There is no health without mental health. We believe it is critical to support coaches in navigating the complexity of the human experience, including emotions - small and big. Having an awareness of the continuum of psychological well-being prepares coaches to work within the spaces of healthy, reacting, and injured; knowing when and how to refer when a client is experiencing emotional pain.
