MOE Digital Academy – Coaching Conversations around Mental Health

25th February 2021 7.00pm - 8.30pm (GMT)

Does coaching have a role to play in supporting someone with their mental health? What questions and/or concerns does that bring up for you? Through this 90-minute session we’ll explore coaching and mental health and guide you through this potentially “sticky” area of coaching, to give you the confidence and clarity to know how to approach conversations around mental health as a coach.

25th February 2021 7pm to 8.30pm (GMT)

This interactive session led by Mark Bixter (Coach and MOE Lead Trainer) and Nadine Robson (Mental Health First Aid Approved Instructor and Coach) we will:

• explore coaches concerns around having conversations about mental health
• explore the boundary that sits between coaching and therapy
• give coaches the confidence to have conversations about mental health

To get the most from this session you need no experience in working with mental health, just curiosity in the subject and an openness to learn.
