Become an EnhanceWellness Coach

“Being an Enhance Wellness coach is such a rewarding experience. Collaborating with participants in problem-solving and goal-setting, to look at where they are, where they want to be and how to get there, is a wonderful experience to share with them. Seeing participants’ joy in accomplishing goals and becoming more confident is truly a gift. Helping them learn that they can make changes and achieve happier, healthier lives.”

Thank you for your interest in becoming an EnhanceWellness Coach! 

EW Coaches are skilled professionals who provide an evidence-based intervention that helps older adults meet life’s challenges. EW Coaches facilitate meaningful discussion that elicits the participant’s values, goals, and reasons for change, while collaboratively addressing obstacles that may arise. The EW Coach assists participants in self-identifying areas of behavior that they want to address using tools provided in their EW Coach Training.

Some professional and educational backgrounds of EW Coaches include nurse practitioners, social workers, community health workers, and other skilled staff with motivational interviewing or counseling experience. 

In order to be trained in EW, Coach Candidates must be associated with a licensed EW affiliate. Check our Locator page to find affiliates near you.
