Healthy Living Planning-2.0

Evolution of Healthy Living Planning

The overarching purpose of healthy living planning is to help participants become engaged and empowered in their own wellness through identification of priorities in their life and to help them create a plan on how to achieve those priorities.

Step 1: Identify Priorities

There are different opportunities to identify priorities for a participant:

• Casual one-on-one meetings

• During the PCI

• During the assessment

• After PCI and assessment are done

• Group healthy living planning
