RT Coach In-Person Intensive
Session Description
Recreational therapists have consistently used the principles of motivational interviewing, behavior modification, health and wellness coaching, and goal facilitation from the inception of our profession. This 6 hour health coaching intensive will provide (and in some cases, re-introduce) RTs with the necessary competencies in order to bolster their leisure and recreation coaching with their clients. Those who wish to become Board Certified Health and Wellness coaches can begin their journey towards the 75-hour curriculum requirement in order to earn their NBC-HWC credential and practice as a dual-certified Recreational Therapist and Health and Wellness Coach.
Additional information will be discussed on certification pathways, benefits of dual-certification and how these two complementary fields can support each others advancements and, ultimately, benefit the clients we serve.
Learning Outcomes
1. Identify the basics of health coaching as a process as it relates to leisure coaching and leisure counseling.
2. Explain the basic tenets of motivational interviewing as it applies to health and wellness coaching.
3. Demonstrate entry-level health coaching competencies (assessed by a rubric).
