Mental Health Managers Coaching
Last updated May 14, 2024
Hunter New England and Central Coast Primary Health Network (PHN) is offering Mental Health Service Managers of its Commissioned Services an opportunity to undertake Individual Leadership Professional Coaching delivered by Capstan Partners.
This coaching is designed to assist managers to develop solutions-focused thinking capabilities and become more effective in overcoming everyday challenges at a time of extreme fatigue, complexity, vulnerability, and uncertainty. An individual 360 leadership assessment and debrief, together with regular coaching sessions, will offer a psychologically safe accountability for sustainable behaviour change.
Coaching approaches can support wellbeing, address burn-out and potentially improve quality and safety of care.
