With the very few numbers of Registered Psychologists and Registered Guidance Counselors (all of us doing our best), everyoneโs help is appreciated. And we know YOU want to help.
As we expand our network of wellness advocates, itโs vital to understand what this role is and what it is not. ๐ง

โข A Certified Mental Wellness Facilitator (CMWF) is a trained individual who provides basic, non-clinical mental health support by listening, offering mental health first aid ๐ซ, and guiding individuals toward appropriate professional help when needed.
โข This role does NOT involve diagnosing, counseling, psychotherapy, or any form of psychological treatment. ๐
โข Think of them as the bridge between a person in distress and the professional help they might need. They provide emotional support, encouragement, foster resilience, and promote self-care within their communities. ๐ซ

We maintain the highest ethical standards. While our CMWFs are essential for reducing stigma and providing immediate support, complex psychological issues require the expertise of Licensed Psychologists and Psychotherapists.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐น:
A CMWF knows how to listen and, most importantly, when to refer.
By clearly defining these roles, we ensure that every individual receives the right level of care at the right time. Together, we are creating a "Breathing Space" for everyone.
If you want to be a Breathing Space for others, we invite you to take the next step. ๐ The next batch of training is on June 20 (online) and 27 (in person. Only 30 participants per batch are allowed to make the training effective and meaningful. Register now to secure your slot.
