Physical & Mental Health,
& Trauma Awareness
A unique single unit course (also a core unit in our Nutrition, Health & Wellness Coaching program) that offers you an insight into the minimum requirements for movement for good health, along with the opportunity to begin a journey into understanding mental health challenges and how to respond appropriately and support those with such challenges.
This course is made up of 3 components:
Part one - Physical Health takes a look at just what the world guidelines and research say about physical activity and exercise. Covering, statistics on healthy movement around the globe and why people don't exercise, how much is enough, how often is required and what type of activity it takes to live a healthy lifestyle and get health benefits from activity. World guidelines from major countries are discussed in order to find a consensus on just how much activity we need for good health. You will cover body measurements and how these assist us in creating healthful states of being, as well as their issues and limitations in the real world. You'll learn what level of physical activity is most ideal for good health and how to support clients in achieving this safely. Online, and untimed quiz assessment.
Part two - Mental Health consists of Mental Health Awareness content which covers depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, psychosis and substance use problems. A range of crises are reviewed from suicidal thoughts and behaviours, self-injury, panic attacks, traumatic events, acute effects from substance use, and psychotic states to aggressive behaviours. You'll gain an understanding of the signs and symptoms of the mental health challenges that far too many of us must cope with in society today, whether directly or indirectly, as well as understand the support that has been shown to be effective in research. A newly added section is on Digital Awareness. Drawn from an extensive array of government and not-for-profit agencies and their resources this module will bring together the best information and resources so you can work through the workbook. Final assessment is an untimed, online quiz. AVAILABLE SEPARATELY ALSO.
Part three - Trauma Awareness. And finally you'll explore and introduction to trauma awareness, as a student with Well College you have access to the Gabor Mate film 'The Wisdom of Trauma' and resources, using this groundbreaking production you'll begin to gain insights into how we can begin to overcome trauma.

A growing tide of disconnection is all our concern
The prevalence of mental health issues across the globe continues to rise and alarm, as we become more disaffected, more dis-connected, more solitary we face challenges around anxiety, depression and other mental health problems. In Australia alone it is estimated that 14% of people suffer with anxiety, 6% from depression and the rates of suicide in certain groups continues to grow, year-on-year. Across the board some 20% of Australians experience some form of mental illness, and Australian statistics tend to mirror many Western countries.

Testimonials

I have recently completed my two B-Coached sessions as a part of the Physical, Emotional and Mental Health Unit. The B-Coached sessions were extremely insightful and enjoyable. I choose two different coaches who had their own unique style, approach and flavour. It was so valuable chatting to these coaches who have the experience under their belt and are really passionate about the work they do. After these sessions I am even more excited about becoming a coach!

Just wanted to say a massive thank-you to Well College for including the B-coached sessions are part of the curriculum... for me the sessions with Nikki Spagnolo were incredibly valuable on a personal level as well as a learning experience about the kind of coach I hope to become - what an inspirational lady!
