With our team’s research and expertise, we have identified what differentiates those who feel in control of their everyday mental health from those who struggle. The answer? The seven traits of emotional fitness.
Emotional Fitness for Mental Wellness is a hands-on, therapist-led, 8-week practice where you will proactively train each of these seven traits. With the support of your Coa community, you will learn to challenge your mental limitations and develop a more resilient, grounded, and confident you.
