Humans are wired to strive for positive change in their lives. The change itself doesn’t always come naturally, though. Healthy behavior change is hard work. It requires consistent effort and practical tools to be successful. It’s also necessary to have trained support and small milestones that can be celebrated throughout the process to keep people motivated. When people fall short of making lasting change, it’s often because they’re attempting to make very big changes all at once. However, if the focus is, instead, on taking small, positive steps over time, lasting behavior change is more likely to be achieved. This is where trained Vera Whole Health coaches make a difference. Vera health coaches use proven methods to offer consistent support and guidance toward making these important, small changes. Think of these as small wins that build toward larger success. In the advanced primary care model from Vera, health coaches embedded in care teams incorporate the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) to help people navigate the path toward positive change. This model is a blueprint for effecting self-change in health behaviors and, in turn, translates into better population outcomes. Let’s take a closer look at this method and how it helps people achieve positive outcomes.
