Teach.

Health and Wellness Coach training – Our training arm TCC®U offers training programs for people interested in becoming certified health and wellness coaches. Our training programs are focused on helping people with chronic pain. We intend to make pain management coaching the standard of care for people living with chronic pain. We are the first and only health and wellness training program in the U.S. that focuses on chronic pain. Class sizes are small and intimate so instructors get up close and personal with students, offering answers to your specific questions.

Partner.

We also partner with healthcare providers, clinicians, and pain management clinics to bring pain coaching services to clients who need help managing chronic pain. One of the biggest challenges for clinicians treating chronic pain patients is getting people past a “cure me” mentality to accepting and taking an active role in their own pain management and recovery process. TCC provides the solution to this problem. Our coaches guide patients through the process of acceptance and support them as they move forward to active engagement and recovery.

Stories of Gratitude

I’m a communications professional with years of experience in planning, organizing and anticipating situational outcomes. But these capabilities did little to help my life of chronic pain, which was chaotic, unpredictable and much less manageable.

I joined Take Courage Coaching as a client who felt broken and hopeless, and graduated a year later with a renewed lease on life—having just completed my first 5K run. The biggest incentive in my self-management toolbox was learning how neuroplasticity makes it possible for me to adapt and retrain my brain.

Taking this course opened my eyes to a completely new way of communication with Motivational Interviewing. This in itself has significantly changed how I think about coaching. I also found the buddy coaching and recorded coaching sessions very useful for practicing the skills we learned. The instructors are very knowledgeable and embody the skills they taught us.

I am a Physical Therapist who has assembled a comprehensive therapy and rehabilitation program in Bozeman, Montana. I partner with Take Courage Coaching on patients who can benefit from additional education and support, and notes that the TCC program “has offered these patients an excellent educational and supportive service to help them move to a higher level of function.

– Gary Lusin, Physical Therapist

I love helping people, so when I was injured doing search and rescue, I felt useless. For 8 years I suffered with severe pain, plus depression and anxiety that grew progressively worse. My case worker learned about a pain management program she was sure could help me. I was skeptical. A soft-spoken southern woman introduced herself as my coach. One of my first exercises was visualizing my life not dominated by pain; and I had to dig deep to imagine a good night’s sleep, see myself enjoying the mountains again, and picture my contributions to family and community.

I started talking with my coach about the things I love, and her support motivated me to do something with each of them over the next few months. Before long, I was exercising, sleeping better, started socializing again and planned a camping trip with my wife. Even with pain, life is good!

– William, Take Courage Coaching® program graduate

This program has been one of the best I have seen. I worked at a social work college before TCCU and they also taught coaching ad motivational interviewing. TCCU walks you through it and then trains you to use the program better than any I have seen yet. I felt completely prepared for my NBHWC test and knew exactly what to expect.
