Purpose

Research shows that working with a health and wellness coach can be very helpful to help build the skills needed to make changes toward living a healthier lifestyle.

Wellness Coaches partner with a client seeking self-directed, lasting changes, aligned with their values, and promote health and wellness toward enhancing their holistic well-being.

If there is something related to health or wellbeing that is affecting your ability to live your life as you want, a wellness coach can help you to work through obstacles and help in the goal setting process.

What is Wellness Coaching?


Coaching can be a beneficial part of every individuals life. Wellness coaches are here to help you achieve success in each dimension of wellness. A typical wellness coaching session looks like:

  • Your coach facilitates a conversation to understand the reason you are interested in coaching, what you are interested in achieving, and the obstacles that are keeping you from reaching that goal.
  • Initial sessions will include creating a plan to achieve your goal.
  • Any follow up sessions will be focused on providing support and accountability for the goal(s) you are working on.
  • Coaching sessions are always tailored to the needs of the individual, your session may include additional components based on your needs.

Note: Coaches do not provide therapy, assess nutritional needs, plan specific menus, assign exercise programs, evaluate lab results, make medical or mental health diagnoses, or prescribe treatment; our coaches will refer clients to professionals in those areas when needed. 

Coaching Services


The Center for Campus Wellness hosts two types of free wellness coaching services

Students

What do I need to know?

Wellness coaches are a confidential and free resource for students who can help with any area of wellbeing.

When and how often can I meet with a coach?

Most often, students meet for 50-minute sessions with a coach and meet on a bi-weekly basis.

However, the frequency of sessions is up to you! We offer flexible scheduling meeting either virtually or in-person to fit your needs through weekly, bi-weekly , or monthly sessions.

Where do I book a wellness coaching session?

Students can easily view session availability and book on Medicat. We encourage students to book sessions in advance being mindful of high demand around key term milestones (i.e. semester start/end dates, midterms, application due dates) and holiday recesses.

Staff

CCW's Wellness Coaching offerings are growing!

Several of our staff are newly trained as Wellness Coaches, and to be eligible for our certification exam this fall, we need to each complete 50 practice sessions (20 min each).

We are offering free wellness coaching sessions to our colleagues in Student Affairs through August as our team work toward their board certification requirements!

Staff can schedule one session, or several, depending on your needs

We are hoping to complete these sessions by Sept 1, so that we can apply to take the exam in November. Please note that these do not qualify for WellU credit.
