Here’s the truth: Substance use affects health in complex ways, and coaches don’t diagnose specific behaviors. Instead, coaches:

·Explore how clients’ use of alcohol, or other substances impacts their wellbeing

·Support reflection on patterns, triggers, and goals

·Recognize when a referral to a qualified professional is necessary

By focusing on awareness, reflection, and safe referral, coaches help clients navigate substance use in a way that’s within scope and supportive.

Here’s the truth: Loneliness and social connection are complex, and coaches don’t just provide solutions. Instead, they:

- Use curiosity, active listening, and evoking questions to understand the client’s experience
- Explore how social systems, culture, and environment impact connection
- Support clients in identifying meaningful ways to connect and reflect on their needs for love, acceptance, and support

By focusing on awareness and reflection rather than giving advice, coaches help clients strengthen their sense of belonging in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.

Coaches support clients in building sustainable movement habits—but they stay within Scope of Practice by not acting as fitness trainers.
The updated competencies (5.2.1–5.2.1.2) remind coaches to:
- Be familiar with the U.S. Surgeon General’s physical activity guidelines.
- Understand activity tracking options to help clients notice patterns and celebrate progress.
- Focus on behavior change, not recommendations or programming.

It’s about empowering clients to find movement that fits their lives—not telling them what to do or how to do it.

The NBHWC Board of Directors came together in Virginia this past weekend for an inspiring in-person meeting focused on strategy, collaboration, and the future direction of the profession. We were thrilled to be joined by our six new board directors https://nbhwc.org/staff/ . We want to express our sincerest gratitude for the three directors who are rotating off the board. Their tremendous impact over the last years has contributed to the continued success and growth of our work, the HWC profession, and has helped set the course for what is to come next.

Grateful for the connection, vision, and momentum.
