Additional Information

ABOUT THE COURSE: Mental health is considered one of the most significant disease burdens on earth. A diagnosis of a mental condition is currently sitting at 1 in 5 individuals, with significantly higher numbers of individuals experiencing sub-clinical mental health symptoms.

The normal work of a fitness professional can profoundly influence individual mental health in a number of fundamental ways that can support the psychotherapeutic methodology of psychologists, counsellors, social workers, and others in scope to work with mental health conditions.

The physical health of the body influences the health of the brain and the mental state that ensues.

This session will take you through a practical and detailed understanding of all of the above, provide you real and practical tools you can use immediately, and also show you how you can understand why some people may or may not respond to your support.

The session presents a refreshing take on mental health and empowers people to improve it through lifestyle and awareness of individual preferences.
