Coaching for Social Resources &
Health Equity

NBHWC - Approved CE - Seal_3.png

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.
