ADOLESCENT LIFE COACHING

Does this sound like a strange phenomenon?

 

We have coaches for sports, dance, gymnastics, & education, so why not a LIFE coach?

 

How can a life coach benefit our adolescents?

 

Our youth are faced with all kinds of stressors:

• School

• Friends/Isolation due to COVID-19

• Electronics/Social media

• Family conflict

• Health issues

 

Many times parents do not see the impact that one or more of these may be having on their children until they experience a crisis. When this happens, the parents and the adolescents are facing brain health issues (depression, anxiety), substance abuse, irrational choices, etc.

​

How can a Coach help?

​

• Just as sport’s coaches teach players about the game, teamwork, dealing w/loss, etc., a life coach can help an adolescent deal with current stressors before they become a critical event.

 

Note:

​

• A Life coach is NOT a therapist. A life coach works with well-functioning clients. If a young person is experiencing depression, anxiety, etc., they may need to see a therapist.​
