Equipping Coaches to Deal with Mental Health Crisis

Equipping Coaches to Deal with

Mental Health Crisis:

Support, Intervention, and Resources

with Jim Stone, DMin, ACC

What can we do when we sense that a client needs support and/or intervention with a mental health problem or crisis, including suicidal thoughts? Coaches are not counselors but as coaches we may be called upon to support a client who is facing a mental health crisis or have someone in their life who is. We can be a valuable, even life-saving support by using our coaching skills and being familiar with the resources that are available.

In this event we will:

• Discuss how to recognize when mental health support and/or intervention is needed.
  
• Explore how the core competencies of coaching apply to intervention and support of our clients facing mental health problems and crisis
• Share resources for intervention, referral and training.
