In this episode of The Health Coach Show, we explore the forward-thinking role of health coaches and Health Improvement Practitioners (HIPs). This initiative, led by the Ministry of Health, introduces a new model of integrated primary mental health and addiction services (IPMHA) within Primary Health Organisations (PHOs) and general practice teams.

Leana Clark shares her journey from nursing to becoming a health coach in New Zealand GP clinics, offering insights into her experience and the impact of her work.

We discuss:

• The distinct roles of health coaches and Health Improvement Practitioners in New Zealand and how they support clients.
• The training required to become a health coach in New Zealand.
• The benefits she has observed for both clients and healthcare teams.
• Lessons Australia can take from New Zealand’s approach.

Tune in to gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of integrated health care.
