Time to check out the best awareness days for coaches and counsellors this May – and there are plenty of them. Not one but two important weeks to flag this month. First up is Mental Health Awareness Week starting on 9 May.  Then, hot on its heels, International Coaching Week on 16 May. And, if you’re an executive coach, you won’t want to miss the awareness day on 1 May, though it falls on a Sunday this year.

Awareness days are a great way to reach new audiences.  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/weeks that will resonate most with your followers and potential clients. Then, use the hashtag when you engage that day/week – make the most of it and get yourself in front of new people.

Also, if you have created content that could be re-shared with the hashtag, then do it. Old content that could be updated and re-posted with the hashtag also works well.

I’ve gone through all the awareness days for May 2022 and picked out those that best suit coaches, counsellors and psychotherapists. The days featured have a wellbeing slant or lend themselves to one.
