RESEARCH

Research on healthy lifestyle and mental well-being, including during and since COVID-19, suggests that it is important to establish regular routines for uplifting health. Doing so provides a foundation for a positive mood, strengthens well-being, and improves resilience. However, more is required when we get triggered or face challenges to our emotions and stress levels. We need to stay health-conscious.

BACKGROUND

The “Health Activation Training: Empowered Health Consciousness” course emphasizes protective factors (at individual and social levels) that help individuals identify emotional triggers and setbacks, get in touch with internal resources, and prevent unhealthy behaviors such as avoidance and Rx misuse.

This course was originally funded in 2017 by the United States Department of Health (SAMHSA) in response to the growing epidemic of prescription drug misuse in the adult working population and among young adults and aging parents. Its effectiveness has been presented in published research.

What is Health Consciousness (HC)?

HC is a process of increasing awareness of one’s own ability to stay alert and responsible in the face of potential risks to one’s health. HC is a meta-cognitive process where individuals:

Have some desire to stay conscious of their own current health;
Recognize when their behavior puts them at risk of poor health;
Take corrective action by tapping into protective factors or health-raising resources.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The training is for instructors, facilitators, coaches, and counselors who want to help their clients and teams with tools for long-term well-being and preventing misuse of prescription drugs. It encourages health-conscious alternatives across Six Dimensions of Wellness (physical, emotional, spiritual, occupational, social, and intellectual).

Features

Certificate course participants may use the slide deck, facilitator notes, handouts, case studies, and an engaging Jeopardy-style game provided in the training for their own workshops, training, and client presentations.
