Climb4WellBeing Workshop for Coaches
Are you a coach or instructor who would like to learn how to help climbers who may need some support with their mental health in order to access the fantastic wellbeing benefits of climbing? The Climb4WellBeing workshop could be just what you need.
Climb4WellBeing is a one-day, in person, course designed to build awareness of mental health, build confidence in supporting people with poor mental health, and learning how to deliver climbing as a tool for wellbeing.
