Are you suffering from chronic fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and/or various sensitivities (light/chemicals/digestive)? Perhaps you are in the healthcare industry seeing complex cases that are difficult to treat? If so, this could be the right course for you!

The Conscious Healing course offer a holistic formula that promotes the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

This course is designed for individuals and professionals who seek additional knowledge insights, and interventions related to teen depression, substance abuse, and suicide detection and prevention.  Motivational interviewing is also taught to aid in getting more positive results when interacting and/or working with teens. The modules in this course are taken directly from Nickerson Institute’s Certified Integrative Mental Health Coach Training Program.

Many teens struggle with low self-esteem, body image problems, anxiety and depression; ultimately turning to drugs and alcohol for some relief and sense of stability and control in their lives.  Families are affected by their moods and their behaviors.  Consequently, the stress in the family contributes to the negative behaviors and thoughts of the teens. Ironically, during a time when they need the most love, it is difficult for many parents to provide this nurturance in the face of their rebellion and struggle.

Unfortunately, many teens contemplate suicide as a way of ending their suffering. Often times those attempting suicide keep it a secret and present with no signs of their intention. However, most provide clear signs that you can watch for and determine the degree of danger that they are to themselves.  This is where your impeccable listening skills are extremely essential and valuable. You will often find yourself listening for what is NOT being stated.  

Motivational interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication designed to strengthen personal motivation for commitment to a specific goal (behavior change) by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reason(s) for change in an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.  MI has been shown to be especially effective when working with clients with addictions. This respectful and non-judgmental method focuses on the teen’s strengths and helps them navigate their uncertainties and build confidence in their ability to make positive changes.
