This approved NBHWC continuing education course (# CEA-000005-1) is designed for Certified Health & Wellness Coaches who have little to no experience working in mental health coaching and have questions about what to do when clients present with mental health symptoms during sessions.
With mental health awareness increasing in the general public, this course will aid the coach in feeling more confident in knowing how to identify common mental health symptoms and what to do when clients present with mental health concerns, as well as how to remain in scope and respond accordingly in potential crisis situations.
This course has two main parts. The first part addresses basic mental health symptoms, as well as when a coach might defer to their own coaching skills to guide the client vs when a coach might want to refer out to a mental health professional. The second part of the course addresses what to do when a coach needs to deter a possible suicidal crisis. This is where QPR Gatekeeper training comes in.
"QPR stands for Question, Persuade and Refer, a life-saving strategy outlining 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

Upon completion of this course, the coach will be able to:
Additional course information:
This is a hybrid course with Day 1 being asynchronous and Day 2 being a live, synchronous virtual presentation. The course formats include a lecture style webinar with slideshow, discussions, breakout rooms, and role-plays and is designed to be as interactive as possible.
In order to receive course certificates and CEs, attendance and completion of the entire 2-part course is required. Additionally, a passing grade of 80% or better is needed on the final course assessment, which will be administered within the Zoom platform on Day 2. (Please make sure you have updated to the most recent version of Zoom prior to attending.) Participants will be provided a link and code to access the accompanying QPR booklet and class resources. Links to suicide resources also will be available after registration and during the presentation. The course and resources are now available through our course platform on New Zenler!
Upon successful completion, participants will receive two certificates: 1) an NBHWC Approved Course* completion certificate worth 4 CEs total, and 2) a certificate as a Certified QPR Gatekeeper. The course completion certificate is what will be needed to log NBHWC CE hours specifically, while the QPR certificate is for personal recognition.
