Do
you know how many of your clients are caring for someone with a mental
illness? What you don't know impacts these clients' well-being.
Clients come to coaching for goals, plans, and a clear agenda.
And sometimes, beneath what’s spoken, there’s something else quietly shaping the conversation.
Many
coaches work with clients who are caring for — or deeply affected by — a
loved one living with mental illness. This experience is often hidden.
It may feel too personal, too complicated, or “not the reason I came to
coaching.” Add societal stigma, uncertainty, and the unpredictable
nature of mental illness, and it’s easy for this reality to remain
unspoken — even as it profoundly impacts the client’s capacity, energy,
and decision-making.
This free, one-hour webinar invites coaches to look beneath the surface.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- Why mental illness in a loved one often remains a secret in coaching relationships
- How caregiving — or proximity to mental illness — affects identity, presence, and resilience
- Subtle signals that something significant may be happening outside the stated coaching goal
- Common pitfalls coaches face when this terrain emerges unexpectedly
You’ll also receive practical tips on how to:
- Hold space without trying to fix or rescue
- Witness the client’s experience with steadiness and compassion
- Stay grounded while supporting clients in ongoing, uncertain circumstances
This
webinar is not about diagnosis or treatment. It is about expanding your
coaching awareness and strengthening your capacity to be present when
the invisible load enters the room.
Whether your clients are
primary caregivers or loved ones quietly impacted from the sidelines,
this session will help you meet them with greater sensitivity, clarity,
and confidence.
