The National Consortium has embarked on a path toward national training & education standards, coach certification, and a collaborative coaching research strategy.
In 2010, co-founded and co-led by Real Balance GWS CEO, Michael Arloski, the National Consortium for Credentialing of Health and Wellness Coaches (NCCHWC), comprising 75 industry and academic leaders, all volunteers, came together to build standards and legitimacy for the role of professional health and wellness coaches across the healthcare, allied health and wellness spectrum. A second important agenda is to integrate basic coaching skills into the work of all health professionals who assist patients struggling with lifestyle-related chronic disease.
Five years of NCCHWC volunteer collaboration and consensus building, following best practices, has delivered a national certification for health and wellness coaches, and national accreditation of health and wellness coach training and education programs, to be launched in 2016
