This course establishes the foundational competencies and boundaries that define the professional role of the Mental Health Coach. With a focus on ethical alignment, role clarity, and integrated care, students will learn how to provide non-clinical, goal-oriented support that complements licensed mental health services. By helping clients build emotional resilience, develop coping strategies, and pursue growth, coaches serve as an essential part of a stepped-care model that expands access to care. This training equips individuals to practice within appropriate limits while maximizing their contribution to the mental health continuum in private practice, their own coaching business, church-based, or community settings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learning Objectives<\/strong><br \/>Participants will..<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Define the scope of practice for a Professional Mental Health Coach<\/li>\n<li>Distinguish between coaching, counseling, and clinical mental health care<\/li>\n<li>Identify appropriate situations for client referral to licensed professionals<\/li>\n<li>Explain how PMHCs collaborate within integrative care teams<\/li>\n<li>Describe ethical and legal limitations relevant to coaching practice<\/li>\n<li>Develop a clear coaching role statement for use in practice settings<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Course Lesson Titles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 101: Establishing Your Professional Mental Health Coach Scope of Practice<\/strong><br \/>Mercy Connors, Ph.D., and John Eklund, M.S.W.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 102: Professional Mental Health Coaching Ethics<\/strong><br \/>Mercy Connors, Ph.D., and John Eklund, M.S.W.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 103: Attachment as a Foundation of Human Behavior<\/strong><br \/>Gary Sibcy, Ph.D.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 104: Assessing Clients Needs<\/strong><br \/>Mark Mayfield, Ph.D., and Shannae Anderson, Ph.D.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 105: The Change Continuum: Understanding Client Readiness for Change<\/strong><br \/>Karl Benzio, M.D.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 106: Motivational Interviewing<\/strong><br \/>Mercy Connors, Ph.D., and John Eklund, M.S.W.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 107: Creating an Action Plan for Recovery<\/strong><br \/>John Eklund, M.S.W., and Keisha Wright<\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 108: Building Client Accountability<\/strong><br \/>Jason VanRuler, M.A., and Zach Clinton, Ph.D.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 109: Boundaries and Co-Dependency<\/strong><br \/>John Eklund, M.S.W., and Zach Clinton, Ph.D.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 110: Trauma-Informed Care in Coaching Practice<\/strong><br \/>Shannae Anderson, Ph.D., and Jennifer Ellers, M.A.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 111: Building a Coaching Business Structure and Plan: Part 1<\/strong><br \/>Jen Rowland, M.A.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PMHC 112: Building a Coaching Business Structure and Plan: Part 2<\/strong><br \/>Jen Rowland, M.A.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Professional Mental Health Coaching 201&#8243;

These coaches provide biblically grounded, clinically informed support and often work in collaboration with licensed counselors. They are especially valuable during transitional phases of care, such as when individuals are stepping down from therapy, no longer meet clinical criteria for a diagnosis, or when insurance coverage limits ongoing treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Professional Mental Health Coaching is a structured, client-centered process that supports individuals in achieving greater mental well-being and personal growth. It is not a substitute for therapy or clinical treatment. Instead, it complements those services by offering continuity of care and equipping clients with practical, faith-integrated tools for daily living. Professional Mental Health Coaches are fee-based providers who empower clients to build resilience, regulate emotions, and apply evidence-based coping strategies. Using a holistic approach, they address emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and spiritual dimensions to support long-term wellness.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, view the <a href=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/mediaportaloutput.aacc.net\/talent\/PMHC\/PMHC+Code+of+Ethics.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Professional Mental Health Coach Code of Ethics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;What is the Role of a Professional Mental Health Coach?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The role of a Professional Mental Health Coach is to walk alongside individuals facing mental and emotional challenges, offering practical support, encouragement, and accountability within a biblically grounded and ethically defined framework.
