I am now a certified integrative mental health coach by the Nickerson Institute of Integrative Health Training.
I took the training to better serve their clients and their family members navigate the acute phases of bipolar disorder. My commitment to you continues in the form of continued education in the space of mental health advocacy.
I wanted to share a brief overview of the Nickerson Institute’s Mental Health Coaching Program, formally known as the Certified Integrative Mental Health Coach Training Program.
This is a 200-hour, fully online training program designed to prepare individuals to support others in improving emotional and mental well-being through a holistic, integrative approach. The program is self-paced and can typically be completed within 12 months, with some live or interactive components included.
The curriculum is grounded in a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model and covers topics such as mindfulness and stress reduction, cognitive-behavioral and rational-emotive coaching approaches, motivational interviewing, and foundational knowledge related to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and emotional resilience. The program also explores lifestyle-based factors that influence mental health, including behavioral habits and wellness practices.
Here is to better serving you and your loved ones navigate mental illness with confidence.
