A Mental Health Coach or Companion Does Help: A companion or coach is put in place to redirect the client when he or she is feeling triggered or spiraling downwards, and are there to help protect the individual against further harm. Often, a mental health companion will move in with clients and are able to travel with them, especially when a trip may be a trigger for relapse (ie. weddings, funerals, family gatherings, special events).
