Trauma Coaching

What is Trauma Coaching?

Trauma coaching is a one-on-one personalized approach to providing support outside of therapy. If therapists are the doctors, then trauma recovery coaches are the E.M.T’s. Trauma coaching is a 100% client lead, collaborative approach to support and healing. Through compassion, connection, and acceptance, trauma coaches are there to be your resource in times of need. They can be thought of as a safety net that is there to catch you when you fall. Coaches are guides, teachers and mentors. They come alongside their clients as peers and equals not as forms of authority. Coaches build a healthy relationship with their clients so that they can learn how to have a healthy relationship with themselves, others and the world.

Case Management

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, approximately 43 million Americans experience mental illness. A more staggering figure follows this: ten million Americans experience it so intensely that it makes daily life a challenge and a burden to them. Mental health case managers set their sights on those most vulnerable in our society—people with psychiatric illnesses, substance abuse problems, or other personal challenges—advocating for those who may be unable to do so for themselves.

Mental health case managers can be thought of as a safety net that helps to catch people who are in trouble. The purpose of the mental health case manager is to assist clients in connecting to resources that can considerably improve the quality of their lives. These psychiatric professionals utilize cutting-edge psychological research and inquiry to best aid their patients in reintegrating into society comfortably and with an increasing emphasis on healthy self-reliance. Mental health case managers prioritize the biopsychosocial needs of the patient at all times, typically with a focus on minimizing the monetary cost to the patient.
