Traditional Mental Health First Aid focuses on crisis response—but what if we could prevent burnout and mental health struggles before they escalate? That’s where Mental Health Ambassadors come in.
This program equips employees to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and create a workplace culture where mental health conversations are the norm—not the exception. It’s not about fixing people; it’s about fostering an environment where people feel safe, supported, and seen.
Led by experienced therapists, this training goes beyond crisis response. It equips leaders with practical tools and counseling-informed techniques to confidently support employees experiencing burnout or mental health challenges. You’ll learn how to:
Navigate tough mental health conversations with confidence and care.
Recognize early signs of burnout and distress before they escalate.
Provide meaningful support without overstepping professional boundaries.
Foster a culture of psychological safety where employees feel seen, heard, and valued.
This training isn’t about fixing—it’s about equipping. When leaders understand how to approach mental health with clarity and compassion, teams thrive. Because mental well-being isn’t just an individual concern—it’s a workplace responsibility.
We don’t just teach theory. Employees will receive real-world application and learn how to recognize signs of distress, initiate conversations, and create a psychologically safe workplace—without overstepping professional boundaries.
Training Details
After receiving my Masters of Divinity three years out of college, I went on to get an M.A. in Literature, and a Ph.D. in Creative Writing. That led to a decade of teaching at universities and colleges in writing and literature. Since then, I have worked as a solopreneur in publishing, a freelance writer for various trades, and as a reporter, analyst, and broadcast specialist for a logistics startup. Throughout these experiences, I always wanted to get back to my early call to use my learning and skills in service to others. I’ve come out the other side as an Executive Coach. My latest book is an investigation and practical application into the Enneagram called, Shock Point: The Enneagram in Burnout and Stress.
I am a certified professional Enneagram practitioner with the Chestnut-Paes Enneagram Academy, as well as a trainer and teacher from Jerome Wagner’s Enneagram Spectrum Certification program, and have also trained with Ginger Lapid-Bogda. I am currently enrolled in the Newfield Network coaching certification program, the first program ever to be certified by the ICF (International Coaching Federation).
I am an Educational Psychologist (Ed.D.), Licensed Professional Counselor with a Mental Health Service Provider designation (TN #1835), Board Certified Coach, angel investor, TEDx speaker, and workshop facilitator.
While I'm currently building Emma (our Emotional and Mental Health Machine Assistant), I still work with individuals as a leadership coach and train organizations in EQ and mental fitness.You can find out more about Emma by visiting our website.
I am a certified Enneagram practitioner through the Chestnut-Paes Enneagram Academy and am committed to integrating the Enneagram into my coaching and my own personal development. The Enneagram is a personality system that reveals our drives, motivations, mental traps, blindspots, and growth paths for lasting psychological growth.
