Better health outcomes for our schools
Supporting the wellbeing of students and staff in Aotearoa schools with Mental Health Coaches
What is a MHC?
Mental health coaches support clients to achieve improved mental fitness outcomes, by building emotional strength and resilience.
We work to move our students and staff forward with their wellbeing.
How we support our schools
Our coaches work in the education sector to support better mental health outcomes for our children and the staff that care for them.
Our coaches do this in different ways:
*Workshops with staff on classroom mental health strategies
*Presentations with staff to support their own wellbeing - like parents, teachers need to be pouring from full cups!
*One-on-one with teachers to implement strategies for their classroom or for particular students
*One-on-one with students to implement strategies
Our health coaches at F L A X are all qualified with an advanced certification at Level 7 on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework. Our coaches stay abreast of the latest research and evidence based outcomes for strong mental health.
All of our coaches come from different backgrounds and these qualifications and experiences may allow them to offer complementing services alongside coaching!
F L A X is a social enterprise supporting Mental Health Coaches to provide quality and professional education and support in NZ schools.
We’re a registered New Zealand Charitable Trust.
We work with people who have mild-moderate mental health challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, trauma.
How we support our one-on-one clients
As coaches, we empower our clients to take control of their own journey and actions, ensuring that the pathway aligns with their values, cultural beliefs and other commitments. We meet clients where they are to move forward.
We work alongside our client to identify thought patterns, manage emotions, reduce stress and anxiety triggers, lifestyle changes and a range of other approaches and therapies.
Together, we work through barriers, adjust the plan and celebrate wins as we work to achieve their health outcomes.
We equip our clients with practical tools and resources so they can take control of their own wellbeing, build resilience and have more positive mental health outcomes.
