- Wellness Coaching is intended to help students envision and improve their overall health. Discussions focus on areas of desired improvement and goals associated with these areas. The wellness coach helps students to develop an individual plan to reach goals and stay motivated when normal distractions and barriers arise. Topics that might be addressed in wellness coaching include: healthy eating, physical activity, relationship issues, and stress management. Using the tenets of positive psychology as well as other behavioral health research, wellness coaching focuses on students' strengths and from there, helps build bridges to a healthier future.
