Overview

Overview

A Wellness Facilitator’s/Coach’s role is to help individuals meet their personal wellness goals in the capacity of a trusted mentor. The goals may fall within any category of wellness, which include social, physical, mental, environmental, medical and dental, spiritual, nutritional, psychological, occupational, financial, and behavioral wellness. 

Wellness Facilitators/Coaches use various techniques to help individuals define their goals for improved health and wellness. Facilitators/Coaches help identify personal strengths and barriers, set reasonable objectives, and monitor progress.  They teach clients how to problem solve and overcome obstacles. The successes achieved by clients are praised, and Facilitators/Coaches will serve as a role model to instill a culture change within the community in which they serve.

They can work in one-on-one sessions and in group settings.  These can be a single meeting or regularly scheduled gatherings.  Employment can be obtained within school systems, corporate and smaller business environments, and in health centers.

Admission Requirements for Health and Wellness Program:

  1. Meet college requirements for admission.
  2. Free from felony convictions.

Students who are accepted into the Health and Wellness Program will:

  1. Submit a completed health record, including proof of required immunizations.
  2. Provide proof of health insurance or acceptance into a sliding scale fee for a primary care provider and hospital coverage.
  3. Have professional liability insurance for internship. (Available through the college.)
  4. Possess and maintain personal health insurance for internship.
  5. Provide an approved criminal background check through the college-approved vendor; the criminal background check must be initiated no earlier than October 1 of the senior year and students must successfully complete a drug screening.

Health Considerations

The College must ensure that clients, patients or medical information are not placed in jeopardy by students during learning experiences. Therefore, students in office or clinical experiences must demonstrate sufficient emotional stability to withstand the stresses, uncertainties and changing circumstances that characterize client/patient/medical information responsibilities or be removed from placement. Furthermore, the student is expected to have the emotional stability required to exercise sound judgment, accept direction and guidance from a supervisor or faculty member, and establish rapport and maintain sensitive interpersonal relationships with employers, clients/patients and their families.

Students must also be aware that site placement will require criminal background checks, proof of insurances, general health statements from personal providers, as well as additional titers or vaccinations beyond what the college requires.

Not currently accepting students.
