Individual Training Pathway

Introductory Training

Introductory training in HCA health coaching involves attending two workshops, ideally spaced approximately 3-6 months apart.  However, the second workshop can be attended at any time in the future, and regardless of the time lag it will benefit the participants' skills development and assimilation of the HCA Model into their specific role and clinical practice. 

• The 2-day HCA Introduction to Health Coaching for Health Professionals workshop provides information about the basic HCA health behaviour change model and processes that are required for clinicians to increase patient or client adherance to treatment and lifestyle recommendations. The workshop provides a stepped checklist of processes to consider, and optional tools and techniques to use when a patient or client is blocked from engaging in, or maintaining behaviour change.  It pays particular attention to dealing with patients or clients who are low in readiness change, while also reviewing techniques to use once a decision has been made to work on a particular health issues.

• The 1-day HCA Review and Update workshop builds on the 2-day Introduction workshop by assisting clinicians to adapt the full model to their particular role and clinical practice.  It reviews and practices the most critical processes to apply, particularly when patients or clients are low in readiness to make changes.  The workshop format allows participants to ask questions, clarify principles, processes and techniques, and to provide feedback regarding their progress in using the HCA Model.  It provides participants with the opportunity to tailor the workshop content to their own needs and to work through common challenges
