Would it surprise you to learn that homelessness in the United States is at an all-time high? Or that the US has the highest rate of single-parent homes in the world? Or that 30% of women and 10% of men experience domestic violence? Or that nearly 50 million Americans battle substance use disorders?
We share these eye-opening numbers to let you know that, whatever your challenges, you’re far from alone. Millions of people in the US are facing seemingly insurmountable problems, but we’re here to let you know that these hurdles are surmountable — with a little help.
At Harmony Homes for Healing, we offer transitional housing services to people in need in Northern California, including Solano, Yolo, Sonoma, and Napa counties. This includes domestic violence safe homes, sober living environments, and mother/baby homes.
While a safe roof over your head is a critical first step in helping you to move forward, we don’t stop there. Harmony Homes for Healing also offers invaluable services that help clients get their feet under them, and our life coaching services are a great example.
Let’s first start with what we mean by life coaching, which is different from mental health care. Just as a coach steers a team to victory, a life coach has the same goal — with your victory at the center of it.
Life coaching is performed by certified practitioners who help clients who are stuck or whose lives have been derailed for one reason or another and need to get back on track.
So, view life coaching as just that — a service that creates a game plan for your life and keeps you on track and accountable with manageable steps and goals.
One of the first things our life coaches do is to review your goals — where you would like to see yourself. During this discussion, we’ll review your strengths and circumstances to see what it will take to achieve your goals.
This initial work is key to your success because a life coach might suggest tweaking your goals to increase your chances for success.
With the big picture in place, your life coach creates a template for success, including smaller, more attainable goals that help you work your way toward your vision.
For example, if you want to start over and become a realtor, we look at ways to achieve that goal, from training to work experience. Perhaps we can first help you find a part-time job at a real estate company as an assistant to gain experience. Then we can look at the steps you need to take to become a professional realtor.
This is just one example, but no matter your goal, we break it down to identify the right path forward.
A sports coach doesn’t just train a team before the season and then sit back and watch. Instead, coaching is an ongoing process of training, improvement, and accountability.
Well, the same applies to life coaching. Our life coaches are with you every step of the way, and they meet with you regularly to see how you’re progressing. During these check-ins, your life coach can make tweaks as you go to keep you on the right track and moving toward your vision.
As you can see, a life coach can be an incredibly important partner in your efforts to rebuild your life. To explore our life coaching services further, please don’t hesitate to contact us to speak to one of our representatives.
