About This Opportunity
We are currently seeking volunteers to participate in the upcoming volunteer training session.
Delivered by volunteers, Coaching for Health is a free telephone coaching program designed to help people living with pain learn self-management skills, regain function and improve their well-being. People with lived experience of pain are encouraged to apply, as are those with similar work experience who would like to support those living with pain through an anti-oppressive and strength-based health coaching program.
The Coaching for Health training will be approximately 40 hours long, with a mix of self-guided online training and facilitated (live) online training sessions (via Zoom).
Live Zoom training sessions are scheduled as follows (Pacific time):
- Thursday, January 15, 2026: 12:00PM - 3:00PM
- Thursday, January 22, 2026: 12:00PM - 3:00PM
- Thursday, January 29, 2026: 12:00PM - 3:00PM
- Thursday February 5, 2026: 12:00PM - 3:30PM
- Thursday February 12, 2026: 12:00PM - 3:00PM
- Thursday, February 19, 2026: 12:00PM - 3:00PM
Attendance for facilitation days is required and online modules are released between facilitation sessions. Participants are paired up and expected to do practice exercises between sessions, complete a recorded coaching session together at the end, as well as a peer-evaluation of up to 2 recordings from other participants.
Participants must complete a criminal record check.
If your application has been selected, Coaching for Health staff will reach out to schedule a volunteer interview in early November 2025.
