COURSE OVERVIEW:
Does it seem as though your patients know what they need to do to improve their health but still do not do it? Attend this webinar and gain insight into behavior and learn how to help your patients implement positive changes. This course will introduce and describe the technique of Mindset and other strategies that can assist individuals in health behavior change. A Fixed Mindset involves the belief that one’s qualities and abilities are set in stone, whereas a Growth Mindset is the belief that one can develop those qualities and abilities. Mindset will be compared with current lifestyle behavior theories and models to provide a “toolkit” of strategies in health behavior change. A case scenario will be presented to demonstrate the use of these strategies, including lifestyle change tools to promote effective patient health behavior change.
