How does Psych Ed Coaches work?

The initial meeting between the coach and each client is used to explain the coaching process, discuss confidentiality, discuss the client's needs and goals, and establish guidelines for the coach-client relationship.

Together, the coach and client establish two to three long-term goals that the client hopes to achieve. Then a system of rewards and consequences are established for the attainment or lack of attainment of weekly objectives and long-term goals.

Weekly sessions involve strategizing about the client’s behaviors, including discussion of obstacles, problem-solving solutions for overcoming areas of difficulty, modifying consequences, cognitive training sessions, and utilizing each week’s events as a stimulus for future actions.

Weekly goals are established, beginning with the initial meeting, and each meeting thereafter. These objectives serve as smaller, more attainable steps toward achieving a more long term goal.
