Health Coaching

Health coaching involves supporting students as they set goals, name challenges, unearth values & strengths, and access intrinsic motivations to develop and sustain healthy behaviors and attitudes.

Health coaching is never a replacement for medical care or mental health counseling and is not appropriate to address crisis or emergency situations.

Have a question? Looking to build a skill? Health and Wellness Education can help! Read more here: Health Coaching
