Self-Management BC Health Coach Program - UVic

Condition Specific Support and Social / Recreational

Provided by University of Victoria

The Self-Management Health Coach Program is a telephone support program for individuals needing the extra support to achieve health goals.
Health Coaches connect with participants by telephone, once a week for 30 minutes, for a period of three months. Coaching can be extended for another three months upon a mutual agreement between all parties.
Through this contact, Health Coaches can support participants who would like to:
  • Choose goals and actions they want to take to manage their health better
  • Identify and problem-solve barriers to being healthier
  • Become more self-confident
  • Be motivated to initiate and maintain health-behaviour changes

    Health Coaches provide a dimension of support that complements and enhances professional health care; they do not provide medical or clinical advice or treatment.

Participants are adults of all ages who are experiencing difficulty in managing their health. Health Coaches and participants are paired based on gender, age and/or shared chronic health condition(s). Health Coaches will always be the ones to call their participants.
To receive a coach, please fill out the information for the waitlist.
The self-management program is also available in Chinese, Indigenous and Punjabi languages.
