Coach2Cope: TAR3 Responder
Are the students and/or young people you support having difficulties coping or displaying risky behaviours?
Are you concerned about their mental health?
Do you want to help your children build vital coping, resilience and positive help seeking behaviours?
Now more than ever young people are experiencing more frequent and intense episodes of distress that can lead to poor mental health and even the development of mental illness.
We hear many professionals say "I just don't know what to do to help". In fact, this is the reason we developed the Coach 2 Cope: TAR3 Responder program which is based on PhD research and clinical experience responding to thousands of young people through acute episodes of psychological distress.
This program will coach you on a simple process called 'TAR3' which will guide you on how to effectively respond to any child or young person when they are not coping, to achieve a positive outcome. This program will also help you to support a young person to develop their vital skills of building coping, resilience and positive help-seeking behaviours.
These simple methods are being used by thousands of professionals, educators and parents/carers to support the mental health of young people.
Learn how to be a safe, and effective responder for young people in your life today.

Evidence based training that builds the capacity of school staff to respond to students who need additional support.
The greatest challenges I see while supporting students with complex mental health needs now sit within schools who have not participated in Steve’s training.
