Coaches are not therapists, yet coaching can be therapeutic. Where therefore is the line between coaching and therapy? As an ICF coach, you are responsible for being able to represent accurately what coaching can and cannot do. This presentation will help you know how to do that. Furthermore, there are times when the coach needs to know how and when to refer to professionals like lawyers, accountants, and mental health providers.

In this webinar we will:

• Identifying barriers within yourself to broaching this subject
• Knowing which type of professional to refer to as well as how and when
• Learning how to differentiate mental health issues from “a bad day” or a “challenging time”
• Initiating a caring and thoughtful discussion/referral for suspected behavioral health issues
