What is coaching?
Health4U Coaching Services offer the opportunity for faculty, staff, graduate student employees, retirees, and the spouses/partners of members of these groups to participate in confidential, one-on-one sessions with a qualified health and lifestyle coach.
The coach and the client focus on the aspect of health and lifestyle that the client wants to learn more about, modify, or change.
The goal of Health4U Coaching Services is to assist the client by providing access to accurate health and lifestyle information, helping the client explore new behaviors/skills, and identifying useful campus and/or community resources.
