BounceBack telephone coaches are trained to support participants as they work through the BounceBack workbooks of their choosing. Participants will talk to their coach over the phone for 4-6 sessions scheduled at their convenience. BounceBack coaching is available in English, French, Cantonese, and Punjabi. Your BounceBack telephone coach will:
• Support and encouragement
• Help participants understand the lessons in the workbooks
• Help participants apply what you’re learning to your own life
• Keep participants motivated

“[BounceBack] gives people support who don’t have access to psychological care, it is a good resource that is consistently well applied. If a person participates in it, I always get positive feedback.”
