the book

A word for mentors and mentoring scheme organisers.......

Any differences between coaching and mentoring can be difficult to define, perhaps the type of relationship and the professional boundaries are the key to any definition?

Although both the title of the book “A Guide to Coaching and Mental Health” may lead to a supposition that this training is designed specifically for coaches this is not the case.

The background knowledge needed is the same for both the mentor and the coach and the ethics and boundary management are common in intent if not in the precise wording.

Mentors, and other similar professionals can be assured that they will gain relevant knowledge and skills by reading the book and attending the training course.
