MHAP life coaching (Mental Health Action Planning) was created in May 2021 by Ryan Dion. Ryan has been working in the Mental Health Community for over 7 years through his work with Action in Recovery Support Groups. Ryan has conducted more than 350 support group sessions and worked with a diverse community from all walks of life. Through his work with AIR, Ryan has developed skills coaching folks through their struggles and providing guidance. Ryan’s unique approach to helping others construct their own plans for success, provides a sense of accomplishment and empowerment.

It is the aim of this organization to expand on this work to one on one consultations. Sessions here can serve as a low cost alternative to professionally educated talk therapy services which often have long wait lists or are outside most peoples price range. While there is nothing that can replace professional services, those who have used MHAP services have found the experience therapeutic and a useful tool in their mental health toolkit.

In additional to talk therapy, action planning is a regular part of MHAP discussions. Action planning is useful in increasing our clients feelings of accomplishment and motivation. As clients work through and monitor their successes in life, they feel more empowered and increase their influence in their own life. Moving closer towards self-actualization allows our clients to change their life circumstances which in turn improves their mood and perspective.

As this organization grows, we intend to add more life coaching services to serve those interested in this approach. We hope to see you soon!
