Behavioral Change Coaching Modules
Behavioral Change Coaching provides structured sessions with
education, handouts and homework so that employees have the best
chance to improve their work performance. Our goal is to help
employees retain their job and be successful in their work
environment.
Behavioral Change Coaching was developed in response to our
companies wanting more information about EAP services that employees
receive as a result of a supervisory referral. Coaching provides a
specific plan for dealing with common employee problems in 3 or more
sessions.
Employee feedback is that Behavioral Change Coaching provides new
and helpful information as well as giving them the tools they need
in order to be more successful in relationships and on the job. Our
EAP counselors have appreciated the structured, theory-based
approach, in which they can use their therapeutic skills.
How Does Behavioral Change Coaching Work?
Each Behavioral Change Coaching module consists of a summary
outline and handouts* for each session. The summary outline contains
goals, interventions, screening tools and homework that are used to
structure the session. Given the issues and presentation of the
client, the EAP counselor uses their clinical judgment to determine
the appropriateness of the outline and materials. Engaging the
employee is of utmost importance and the EAP counselor can
personalize the module by focusing on the specific interventions and
handouts that best meet the employee’s needs. An assessment for
concurrent mental health, substance abuse and psychosocial issues
should always be done initially. Subsequent referrals to adjunctive
services should be made whenever appropriate throughout the module
sessions to insure appropriate clinical treatment.
Behavioral Change Coaching is recommended for specific
supervisory referrals. It can also be used for voluntary employees
who report similar concerns.
The current Behavioral Change Coaching
modules are:
Each coaching module is designed for 3 EAP sessions. If the
employee has extended EAP sessions available per their company
contract, goals and interventions can be stretched throughout their
sessions and discussed in more detail.
Consultation is available through your Aurora EAP Network
Coordinator or the Manager, Clinical Services. We would welcome
discussion on how best to use Behavioral Change Coaching and value
your feedback as you use the materials. Your comments and ideas are
used to improve our services. As always, we thank you for partnering
with us to serve our EAP clients!
