You’re there to support their physical health, now you can feel equipped to help them with their mental health too.
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 you can help.
You’re unsure what you can actually do or if it would even make a difference.
You want to show you care and express your concern but you’re afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Or maybe you don’t know where to begin when looking for professional mental health services.
You don’t need to be a counselor or a therapist to help your client when they face 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.
