Coaching for Social Resources & Health Equity Approved for 10.5 hours of Continuing Education What is the course about? With the emerging awareness of inequities within healthcare, there has been a shift to address Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). The World Health Organization defines SDOH as "the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life." Given the identification of SDOH, we assert that coaching is a social resource for health , with the potential to improve social capital in disadvantaged populations. Through this authentic generative relationship, coaching can be a stabilizing force and the core driver of behavior change.

Because my end game was to become board certified, it was very important to me to make sure that I would get a quality education that prepared me for the board certification, along with positive practices and support to enhance my overall experience. The Wellcoaches track not only prepared me to pass with ease, but also with great confidence and comfort. The program thoroughly covered all of the necessary material, and the variety of distribution options and variety of schedule options was very helpful to meet the needs of fitting into my busy life! I have to say though, overall, the instructors, leaders, and staff played a huge role in my satisfaction with Wellcoaches and my success with the board certification process. I never felt like I was just being passed through. Everyone was so helpful and supportive, making me feel comfortable and empowered. I am grateful for the entire Wellcoaches team and I would highly recommend the program for anyone looking to truly grow and learn in their certification journey! - Kristy Droske MS, NBC-HWC, CPT, CES No Excuses Training & Coaching

DIVERSIFYING THE WORKFORCE "Given that psychological safety is so fundamental to well-being, we have to ask if it is possible to truly promote well-being in the absence of a more diverse health and well-being workforce." - Sara Johnson, Equity, Justice, and the Role of the Health Promotion Profession in Dismantling Systemic Racism ​ We must recognize the lack of diversity, and the lack of access to resources, in our own industries.

With guest experts including clergy, practicing front line physicians, faculty from University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University and others, students will be trained in how to assess treatment options, risks and benefits before consenting to a procedure. They learn how to use the latest personal medical technology to their advantage and how to optimize and ‘decode’ a doctor visit. Students discover how to identify, de-stigmatize, and access treatment when needed for spiritual, emotional, and mental health. After completion of the training, and learning peer coaching skills, participants will be registered with Kindred Coaches™ to actively work voluntarily with communities within the diocese. ​ Thank you to Carol Scott, Karen Mercer, Shannon McCullough, Sheryl Ricard and Charles Inniss for your vision for this project!
