Healthy Behaviors and Address Barriers
Course Description
Are you equipped with change-agent strategies to enhance multi-level, multicultural wellness practices for individuals and organizations? During this course, you’ll obtain tools and techniques to enhance inclusive practices when working to address barriers for behavior change, including motivational interviewing, active listening, goal setting, and more. Increase your competence for developing effective practices to engage and cultivate change among multicultural individuals and groups.
This course is one of nine eLearning courses intentionally designed to support competency-building in the five domains of the NWI Wellness Promotion Competency Model. Specifically, this is the second of two courses that support the model's “Inclusive & Responsive Practices" domain. The model serves as the standard for the Certified Wellness Practitioner (CWP) certification.
Competencies and Learning Objectives
This course supports the following wellness promotion competencies:
- Work to uncover individuals' strengths, concerns, and values using a person-centered approach to inquiry that includes active listening to help set appropriate wellness goals and strategies.
- Assist individuals in identifying barriers or resistance to change that are interrupting their ability to integrate wellness-promoting behaviors into their lives.
