Peer Health Coaching

Health Coaching a growing industry in the health and wellness field that utilizes behavior theory and lifestyle change science to improve your health. Many companies across the country are implementing health coaching strategies with great success for their clients. Here at UCCS, we offer a free health coaching program where you can avoid costly services and connect with a peer at your school.

UCCS Peer Health Coaches are dedicated to guiding and supporting your wellbeing while making a real connection with you both in person and remotely. With the Peer Health Coaching program, you no longer have to “do health” on your own. Peer Health Coaches can work with you to:

• Develop realistic goals
• Adopt health lifestyle changes
• Become consistent with healthy routines
• Find balance in your life
• Track your progress through periodic check-ins

All Peer Health Coaches work under the supervision of a certified Health Coach faculty member.

Health Coaching is often used alongside a Primary Care Provider, Registered Dietitian, or Mental Health Specialist. A Health Coach is not a substitute for any of these important health professionals.
