The Self-Management Health Coach Program is a free, telephone-based
program that supports BC adults who are experiencing difficulty managing
their health.
Trained peer coaches connect with you by telephone for 3 months once a
week for 30 minutes. They support you in working towards better
managing your health by helping you:
- Determine goals and actions you want to take
- Identify barriers and learn problem-solving skills
- Become more motivated to initiate and maintain health-behaviour changes
Peer Health Coaches provide support that complements and enhances
professional health care; they do not provide medical/clinical advice or
treatment.
