2025 Duke Health & Well-Being Coach Training

2025 Duke Health & Well-Being Coach Training is organized by Duke University Health System.

Starts Date: 03/10/2025
Expires Date: 01/02/2026

Description:
The purpose of the Health & Well-Being Coach Training (Online Course) is to provide participants with rigorous training in the skills, process, and partnership needed to effectively work with their clients in the realm of sustainable health behavior change. The training emphasizes gaining an understanding of core health coaching competencies. During the Core Competencies Phase of the program, participants will have opportunities to view demonstrations and participate in experiential practice with mentored feedback in order to translate their knowledge to professional practice. Duke Health & Well-Being's world-class program will teach participants how to dynamically engage individuals to make transformational health behavior changes that maximize their health and well-being. Based in research and years of clinical experience, the Health & Well-Being Coach Training combines an online curriculum with instructor-led training in order to accommodate the schedules of busy professionals. This combination provides students with hands-on experiential practice, preparing graduates to immediately utilize their skills. Many healthcare providers do not have training in a process to help guide patients through health behavior changes. This leaves patients without clear guidance and partnership, and many are unable to successfully implement recommended changes to improve their health. During the Advanced Application Phase, the training supports participants in strengthening their skills through online coursework, coaching practice, and one-on-one mentorship.

Learning Objectives:

• Exploring the transformation of healthcare, patient centered care, and the role of Health & Well-Being Coaches in supporting health behavior change.
• Understanding the 9 stages of the Duke Health & Well-Being Coach Process Model.
