Are you interested in volunteering with Pain BC’s Coaching for Health Program? 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.
Live training sessions will be scheduled as follows; please note that some of the following times may be adjusted depending on program and volunteer considerations:
- Thursday, September 14, 2023: 12:00PM - 3:00PM
- Thursday, September 28, 2023: 12:00PM - 3:00PM
- Thursday, October 12, 2023: 12:00PM - 3:00PM

- Thursday, November 9, 2023: 12:00PM - 3:00PM
- Thursday, November 23, 2023: 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.
