As modern society continues to make excellent headway on the mental health front, more people have realized the immense value of counseling and coaching. From being seen as taboo and shameful, making the decision to get help and become better is encouraged. When it comes to promoting and advocating for mental wellness, one remarkable expert stands out: LaDeidra Stokes-Roberts.
The inspiring woman is the founder and brilliant mind behind RBS Counseling & Educational Services. It is an all-encompassing enterprise that helps the community through its holistic program that combines mental health services, educational services, and life coaching services for children and families. In addition, it has flexible options such as face-to-face, phone, virtual websites, and group sessions to ensure that it can cater to its clients’ various needs.
Included in the company’s extensive list of strategies are back-to-school care events, mental health and wellness forums, reaching beyond self-workshops, educational workshops, radio and podcast interviews about mental health advocacy, and other activities. Not only that, but the founder also gives RBS Fidget Boxes and Bags to children who struggle with focusing, anxiousness, stress, frustration, excitement, restlessness, and impatient behavior. These toys are an excellent tool that assists these kids with increasing their academic productivity and success by fighting distractions.
Sharing what makes her initiative so successful, the entrepreneur explained, “One of the unique attributes of the program is being able to utilize the child’s interests and strengths to enhance the session. There are a lot of hands-on activities and fun activities completed during each session that connects education and life coaching. The program provides education, life coaching, and trauma-informed care training to educators and human service providers.”
All of these incredible things are a testament to LaDeidra’s profound understanding of the importance of mental health. When asked what inspired her to create such an impressive venture, the outstanding woman generously answered, “I decided to build my own brand when my mother passed away in February 2016. She enjoyed helping others in her community, so I wanted to continue her legacy of helping others.”
Moving forward, the visionary aims to elevate its authority and help more people in need. In line with this, RBS Counseling & Educational Services started accepting adults and couples for services during the pandemic. On top of that, the founder hopes to broaden the enterprise’s horizons even further, saying, “I would like to see my company expanding in different states where I can provide more strength-based interventions to children, adults, couples, and families. I also want to provide professional development and training in public and private schools.”
Ultimately, LaDeidra Stokes-Roberts remains steadfast in her passion for championing mental health awareness and the unrivaled value of counseling and coaching. Alongside her dynamic and dedicated team, she intends to continue providing hands-on and fun activities that bring together education and life coaching. Finally, she hopes that her success story will inspire others to pursue their passion, talents, and interest in a career or business venture that they feel fulfilled doing.
