There are lots of awareness days for counsellors this September. Same goes for coaches and therapists and anyone working in the mental health space.  Psychotherapists even get their own day this month – Psychotherapist Day falls on 25 September. Another prominent one is suicide prevention – September is suicide prevention month and there is also suicide prevention day on 10 September.

There are plenty of other awareness days for counsellors in September too – Positive Thinking Day (13th), Day of Encouragement (12th), and, for those working with young people, Youth Mental Health Day (7th).  For productivity coaches, check out Fight Procrastination Day on 6th September.

As you’ll know, using the hashtag for awareness days is an effective way to get in front of new audiences.  And they’re great for boosting your brand.  Plan ahead so that when you’re scheduling your content, you include the relevant hashtags on posts going out on that day.  Make a note in your diary for the days and weeks that will resonate most with your followers and potential clients. And, when you engage that day, remember to use the hashtag.

Do you have any created content that could be re-shared with the hashtag? Make the most of it by posting it again with the relevant hashtag. The same goes for curated content – add the hashtag for the day and post it again. If you’re looking for other quick wins on social media, this shares a few more.

The first step, though, is working out which days fit your business best.  I’ve gone through all the awareness days for September and picked out those that best suit life coaches, counsellors and psychotherapists. Check them out below.
