Introduction
Open Source Wellness (OSW) is a “behavioral pharmacy” where basic, trans-diagnostic health behaviors are taught and practiced. OSW is a delivery system for the health practices that underlie physical and psychological health and wellbeing. The core programming consists of movement for all fitness levels, basic mindfulness and stress reduction, nutritious snacks (plant-based), and facilitated social support and connection, and is largely facilitated by health coaches in a cohort-group model.
Our mission is to transform health outcomes and health equity by creating integrated clinical-community channels for individuals and families to find affordable and sustainable health behavior solutions. Our coaches work with OSW in the following capacities:
The following activities are required for coaches:
1. Facilitating group coaching and comprehensive wellbeing sessions. They will engage with members of their group in discussion about their current health issues and wellness goals for the future. Coaches participate in physical movement, mindfulness, and a snack alongside participants (meal only for in-person sites). Coaches guide their small coaching groups in facilitated conversations about health and well-being goals, challenges, and practices.
2. Forming relationships with group participants to help them foster change in their lives. OSW coaches extend their support by making themselves available for communication and check ins throughout the week via phone and/or text.
3. Contributing to the Referral Call Team. Coaches will call patients who have been referred from the clinics, orient them to the program, provide logistical support (such as paperwork or zoom training) to enroll them in our programs, complete 1:1 individual coaching sessions (up to 6 per patient) as necessary.
4. Contribute to the organization broadly. Attend weekly staff meetings including monthly professional development and peer-led education on Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. Participate in mentorship, training, and contribute to projects such as curriculum development and systems design. Communicate consistently with integrity and commit to being the change we’d like to see in the world regarding wellness, justice and equity.
