Services for Faculty and Staff
Peer Wellness Coaching is a confidential service that supports the optimal well-being of employees by empowering them to make decisions, set goals, and take action to experience a satisfying life balance. It is a gentle approach to long-term lifestyle adjustment. Faculty and Staff would receive coaching from our in-house wellness coach and program coordinator, Youthser Guerrero. For questions and/or to get started, please email him at youthser.guerrero@gabonmagazine.com
Coaching begins as a conversation in a setting that is comfortable to you. From there, your coach will support you in various ways towards the goal(s) you've set. You will receive support that "meets you where you are" and considers ways to gently refocus you on the mission to create a healthier you!
