Healthy Eating, Activity & Lifestyle (HEALTM) Facilitator Training Course
Overview
Welcome to the Healthy Eating, Activity & Lifestyle (HEALTM) Facilitator Training online course. This course has been developed for interested health professionals to understand their minimum requirements for delivering the HEALTM program and become confident facilitators. HEAL™ facilitators are trained and encouraged to incorporate the principles of self-managed change into all their participant interactions.
HEAL™ facilitators deliver the following program components:
- Pre-exercise screening and initial assessment
- Delivery of nutrition, physical activity, and behaviour modification education sessions
- Delivery of group physical activity/exercise sessions
- Post-program assessment
- Five and twelve-month post program review
The purpose of the course is to provide an online platform for interested health professionals to complete HEAL™ Facilitator training and replaces the previous mode of delivery (6-weekly live webinars).
