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!

We are just starting week #5…I can’t believe it – it seems like time is just flying by. I’m enjoying this class so much. The instructors are a class act, and I am learning a lot about myself and how I can better serve others through health coaching. Let me say…this training is saving my life. Quite literally. The Wellcoaches training is teaching me the skills I need to cope with my wife’s diagnosis, and I’m able to apply these skills (listening, empathy, reflecting, etc.), to how I interact with my wife (and others) during this difficult time. SO, THANK YOU to Wellcoaches, to the amazing trainers, and my learning partners for giving me the help and support I need. AND, I’m learning such valuable life skills…It is just an AMAZING experience so far. Stacy Clark
