Mental Health 101 for Massage Therapists
Run by Kate Webb, experienced mental health practitioner of 30 years, this course will increase your skills in recognising the signs of mental health distress, being helpful to your clients when treating them, and referring them on to other sources of help.
During the live virtual classrooms recorded in 2022, we explored key concerns and dilemmas that you face in practice when encountering clients’ mental health issues and discussed ways to deal with tricky issues such as suicidal distress, safeguarding concerns and disclosures of past traumas that impact on how people feel in the present.
This course will increase your knowledge, equip you with resources to refer clients on and crucially help you to understand the boundaries of your role i.e. you can’t ‘fix’ people or be responsible for their safety but you can be really helpful when they are struggling.
The course was run as monthly Zoom sessions of 1.5 hours long. You have access to all of the recordings in this online course.
You will have access to the course for 1 year after you sign up.
