- description
- Peer coaching intervention delivered by young adults with a childhood onset chronic condition and trained in coaching curriculum that includes motivational interviewing techniques and the benefits of peer relationships over a shared experience such as a chronic condition. The peer coach supports the AYA to identify their goals and feel a sense of success in making change towards goals within a supportive environment. This process involves goal-setting, development of self-discovery and accountability for changes in health behavior. The peer coach elicits the AYA's vision of optimal health and identifies the AYAs values. As the AYAs identify a vision of wellness and develop goals and action steps to progress towards that vision, the peer coach elicits the AYA's intrinsic motivation and activates skill development in self-advocacy and communication and empowers the AYA to take leadership in managing their condition.
