Healthcare Providers, Caregivers and Support People

Is coaching appropriate for you if you are a supporting person for someone with a disability or chronic illness? Coaching For "Optimal Living with Physical Disability & Chronic Illness" is also very appropriate for care-givers, health care professionals, supporting family members and friends. The structure of coaching sessions is adapted to assist caregivers in learning how to be helpful and encourage independence, a new view of the world and the optimal growth of the persons you support. Professional Healthcare Providers will learn new coaching techniques & strategies to improve the results of thier clients as well as enhance the overall professional skills of the healthcare provider. Personal caregivers & support people: Family, friends & other personal caregivers may choose to meet individually or in a group format with the coach and the person with a disability or chronic illness. (In fact, the group arrangement often provides a stronger foundation for meaningful & long-lasting change).
