The Unique Value of a Wellness Coach During Movember https://lnkd.in/eziXC7y Movember provides the perfect opportunity for wellness coaches to engage clients and communities in meaningful conversations about men’s health. Coaches can help raise awareness of the importance of early detection and educate men about healthy lifestyle habits that can prevent serious health issues in the future. Whether through one-on-one coaching or workplace wellness programs, health and wellness coaches can amplify the impact of Movember by creating tailored, action-oriented plans that empower men to take charge of their well-being—no matter their age. Did You Know? As the global population ages, the diversity of health and wellness needs continues to expand. Menopause, men’s health, aging, and cognitive wellness all intersect with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) by highlighting unique health challenges that specific demographics face. In light of this, several international awareness days in autumn provide opportunities for Health and Wellness Coaches to educate, support, and empower individuals and organizations, while also ensuring equitable access to wellness resources and care. Taking Action as a Health and Wellness Coach! To stay at the forefront of health and wellness trends while integrating DEI principles, it’s essential to continue learning and upskilling in these areas. Here are some actionable steps for Health and Wellness Coaches: ?? NBHWC Approved Training Programs: https://lnkd.in/geVeYyV3 ?? UKIHCA industry leading programs https://lnkd.in/gH9jH-Qt ??

?? Updated professional resources for health and wellness coaches ?? Our friends at the UK & International Health Coaching Association have recently released their revised Professional Standards for Education and Training in Whole-Health & Wellbeing Coaching.

These Standards are a revision of the original Standards published in 2021. The 2024 Standards set a framework for the provision and quality of education and training for professional health coaches. They include: ? standards of education and quality assurance for training providers ? taught knowledge and skills ? competencies expected for graduating professional health coaches ? the competencies are based upon and dependent on the relevant foundational taught knowledge and skills.
