bolster coaching
for youth, young adults, and those who care about them
hello
welcome to bolster coaching
The teen and young adult years are an incredibly powerful time of growth, change, and exploration of self. During this time many teens and young adults struggle with self-doubt, academic and relationship stress, and uncertainty about the future and they don't always want to talk to or listen to their parents. Getting a bolster, an assist, a lift, from a trained professional to help cultivate deep self-awareness and empowered action during this time in life can lead to greater self confidence, better decision making, improved relationships, and access to the tools needed to achieve dreams. Coaching is also available for parents who could use a bolster so that they can best support their teen or young adult.
what is coaching?

getting started.
Parents want the best for their kids and during the teen and young adult years parents may find that their child isn’t interested in following their advice or guidance. Hiring a youth resilience coach allows parents to feel confident that another adult is helping to guide conversations about important life issues and goals.
