Move beyond physical fitness, gain the skills to recognize and respond to mental health challenges and become a source of support for every client.
You do so much more than just encourage people to move their bodies.
You’re a cheerleader, an accountability partner, and a confidant. Your clients open up to you about their lives, both the ups and the down.
And there’s probably been times when you were worried about their mental health. Times when clients shared the difficult thoughts and challenging emotions they’re facing, but you didn’t know what to say or how to help.
You’re unsure what you can actually do or if it would even make a difference. Maybe you’re afraid of saying the wrong thing. Or maybe you don’t even know where to begin when looking for professional mental health services.
You don’t need to be a counselor or a therapist to help someone with a mental health challenge.
What you need is an action plan. A plan that will help you spot when someone needs extra support, find the words to show you care, and feel prepared to open the door to conversations about mental health.
As a Mental Health First Aider, you can be the one to reach out to and connect clients in need to extra support.
