PRX 3032 - Coaching for Health and Wellness

2 Credit Hours

Coaching for Health and Wellness is an elective service-learning course designed to prepare students to coach elementary and secondary school students, in an urban facility, by mentoring underserved students who are challenged with medical and/or behavioral issues. Students will become knowledgeable in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and comorbid disorders in childhood. Students will address the social and emotional needs of children, through both one-on-one and class interactions, fostering a deeper appreciation for students who struggle with these personal challenges. These student interactions will benefit the needs of the facility while improving the student’s opportunity to apply their communication, mentoring, motivational interviewing and coaching skills to build better relationships. This set of essential skills will assist the student in building future patient relationships.
