Getting credentialed also means you can get liability insurance. We get calls all the time from coaches who thought they were attending credentialed programs. Look carefully at any program you are considering.

Why does board certification matter?

Board-certification serves as a mark of quality assurance for employers, clients, and the public. It assures them that certified individuals have attained a certain level of competence and expertise in their respective areas.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects nearly 6% of the American population yet remains a fairly misunderstood condition. June is PTSD Awareness Month where one of the main goals during this month is to raise awareness and educate on PTSD. Having a comprehensive understanding of mental health conditions benefits us all and helps reduce the stigma surrounding it. Please join us to learn more about PTSD and the treatments available in Wyoming.

Thank you NMC-HWC for attending. Your contribution and support of Veterans and our trauma-informed coach training, Veterans Talking To Veterans, highlights the importance and role coaches play in helping our veterans thrive.

Last month NBHWC was invited to speak at the graduation for the Veterans Talking to Veterans program in Wyoming.

This program was created by the founders of Mentor Agility, an NBHWC approved program. One of the initiatives of this program is to train Veterans to provide health & wellness coaching to other Veterans. The program has been very successful with data to show that they have saved numerous Veterans from su***de. This event included a dinner, graduation for Veterans who recently completed their training, speeches and an expo hall where NBHWC exhibited.

These graduates will now sit for the NBHWC Board Exam, many planning to use their GI Bill to pay for the exam too!

NBHWC was thrilled to be invited to this important and impactful event.

Mental health is not just the absence of mental illness. Well-being is a resource that people draw upon to realize their goals, satisfy their needs, and cope with stressors in order to live a long, productive, and fruitful life. When an individuals’ sense of well-being is high, they are more productive at work and feel more connected to their communities. They suffer less disease, illness, and injury and they have better immune functioning, speedier recovery, and increased longevity.

Why is storytelling important in coaching?
Our proven methodology leverages storytelling to establish trust, uncover subconscious goal setting, and remove hidden barriers to success. By adopting a storytelling approach, supported by evidence-based practices, clients feel empowered to construct their own narrative and understand how they have been positively transformed by their traumatic experiences. Coaching through story not only boosts individual confidence, but also uncovers the emotional subconscious stories that hinder clients from reaching their full potential. This playful and imaginative coaching process nurtures clients' creativity and problem-solving abilities, fostering competence, knowledge acquisition, skill development, insight, and self-confidence.

Governor Mark Gordon's “Mental Health Roadmap” takes steps to advancing systemic behavioral health reform in Wyoming, identifying five pillars that are critical to improving outcomes for those who are battling mental health issues.
The five pillars are:

Access to Care-- Ensuring residents have access to the continuum of behavioral health services.
Affordability of Care-- Ensuring cost is not a barrier to accessing services in Wyoming.
Quality of Care-- Delivering the highest quality of service based on best practices and evidence-based research.
Innovation--Constantly thinking of ways to improve our system based on new research and information.
Su***de Prevention and Anti-Stigma efforts
Each pillar has priorities and key strategies to achieve those priorities.

Some of the priority strategies identified in the mental health roadmap incorporate work that is already underway. This includes Veterans Talking To Veterans, a trauma informed coaching certification by Mentor Agility.

Discover the transformative potential of our award winning trauma-informed coaching!

Did you know? Studies suggest that more than half the population has experienced some type of trauma, it's crucial for coaches to have the skills to work with trauma. Trauma-informed coaching isn't just a profession; it's a vital and distinctive pathway in the realm of mental health. While therapy is invaluable, there are often unique needs left unaddressed. That's where trauma-informed Coaches shine. Certified in health and wellness coaching, they bring specialized training tailored to the diverse challenges faced by individuals from all walks of life who are dealing with traumatic experience.

From navigating financial struggles to coping with chronic illness and community upheaval, trauma-informed Coaches are equipped to offer support precisely where it's needed most. They recognize the intricate interplay of health, economic, and social factors, especially crucial for those grappling with social stressors. This holistic approach can be a game-changer, particularly in combating depression and suicidal ideation.

While therapists play pivotal roles, trauma-informed coaches fill essential gaps in service provision. With expertise in financial well-being, trauma-informed coaching, and community support, they offer a unique blend of skills to bridge the gap between need and assistance.

If you or someone you know could benefit from becoming a dual-credentialed trauma-informed coach, don't hesitate to reach out and explore what Mentor Agility has to offer. New cohort starts June 17, sign-up early for self paced curricula.

Honored as the best dual-credentialed coaching program in 2023 by Life Coach Magazine and recipient of the prestigious Abraham Lincoln Pillars of Excellence Award for Innovative State Programs by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
