Is this inside or outside your scope, and what is the caring response?

How could a coach help using the client-centered approach?

Show sample answers

1. Respond with calm care, stay within scope, and refer the client to a licensed mental health professional or crisis resource such as the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. This is beyond coaching.

2. Outside scope. Refer them to their doctor and a registered dietitian for medical nutrition, while offering to support their daily habits alongside that care.

3. Help the client choose one small, meaningful goal tied to their own why, such as a short daily walk, and support them as they take it, rather than handing over a plan.
