Personal Wellness Coaching  

We understand that sometimes it’s hard to know where to start on your well-being journey, or to keep motivated to continue.  That’s when having a personal coach can help. 

UGA Well-being offers several opportunities for individual coaching.

Phone Coaching through the USG Well-being Virgin Pulse platform - Log in to ourwellbeing.usg.edu; select "Programs"; "Phone Coaching." Every phone coaching appointment earns you 1,000 well-being points (up to 6 times a year). Topics include nutrition, stress, sleep, physical activity, and more. 

Free and confidential phone consultations are also available through USG Well-being partners.

Prediabetes and Diabetes Managment  

More than 1 in 3 adults in the United States have prediabetes -- and 90% do not even know they have it.  Without making lifestyle changes, most people with prediabetes will become diabetic within 5 years.  There are free programs for reducing your risk of prediabetes or managing diabetes if you already have it.  If you complete 16+ weeks of a weight managment, Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), or Diabetes Management Program, you can earn $50 in well-being credit.
