Whole Health Action Management
Prepare your peer consultants to improve the health of your clients and counter the high incidence of chronic physical health conditions — such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity — among people living with mental health and substance use challenges with the Whole Health Action Management (WHAM).
Recommended for:
Peer consultants/counselors
Our WHAM training is a peer-centered, strengths-based program developed to promote whole health self-management for those living with chronic physical and behavioral health challenges. Participants learn to identify strengths, develop weekly action plans and better identify and implement whole health practices to more effectively foster behavior change among complex clients.
This peer-led program promotes self-management to create and sustain new health behavior. The WHAM program offers peer services providers the materials, tools and ongoing technical assistance to implement WHAM at your organization. WHAM facilitators are linked to a national listserv to foster ongoing peer support, share tips and tools for success, and provide new resources for peer services and integrated health.
