Study Notes

Health Creation Mentor Role

Health Creation Mentors work with individuals and groups to help them achieve their health and wellness goals.
Mentors use a client-centred approach, empowering clients to take control of their health and wellness journeys.
They guide clients through the 12 Health Creation Principles for body, mind, spirit, and environment.
Mentors support clients in identifying their internal strengths and external resources.
They help clients develop self-management strategies for making sustainable, healthy lifestyle changes.
Mentors act as partners and facilitators, assisting clients in achieving their health goals and behavioral change.
They focus on the clients' own goals, beliefs, and circumstances and are consistent with treatment plans prescribed by healthcare providers.
Mentors help clients use their insight, personal strengths, resources, goal setting, and accountability towards healthy lifestyle change.
They may offer supporting resources from nationally and internationally recognized authorities, like government and public health guidelines, peer-reviewed sources, and therapists registered within their fields.
Mentors observe the boundaries of their role, adhering to the Health Creation Quality Care Promise.
They refrain from giving specific personal health advice but instead elicit the clients' own wisdom and health goals.
Mentors offer direction to health and wellness information within the Health Creation Programme and resources from robust evidence-based and peer-reviewed authorities.
This allows clients to find therapeutic and self-help resources, draw their own conclusions, gain confidence, and a sense of empowerment.
Mentors follow a "do no harm" mandate, refraining from actions that could harm clients or patients.
Mentors do not act as medical professionals or therapists. Therefore, they do not:
- Assess symptoms
- Diagnose conditions
- Interpret lab results
- Give specific nutritional advice (this should be provided by a nutritional therapist or dietician)
- Remove food groups (this should be provided by a nutritional therapist or dietician)
- Prescribe treatments or therapeutic interventions (including nutritional)
- Make claims to prevent or cure any condition
- Engage in activities that could harm a client, lead to legal lawsuits, invalidate insurance cover, or bring the UK Health Coaches Association, Health Creation, Dr. Rosy Daniel, and the Health Coaching profession into disrepute.

- Educating clients or groups about Lifestyle Healthcare theory and evidence
- Writing a blog or articles

- Communicating in online forums, meetings, with colleagues, peers, and healthcare professionals.

Health Creation Mentor Qualifications

Health Creation Mentors are insured for practice within the boundaries of their role and provide evidence annually of their insurance cover to remain on the Health Creation Active Mentor Register.
Health Creation Mentors receive ongoing Mentor Development sessions to learn from client feedback gathered via the Health Creation Quality Assessment process.
Health Creation Mentors always work with the client’s agenda, not their own, and refrain from presenting their own beliefs or opinions.
When a Health Creation Mentor holds other medical, nursing, or therapeutic qualifications and insurance, they may work with the client in this capacity.
However, this service is provided outside of the Mentor session, in a specially designated session to provide their other services within the designated Scope of Practice of that discipline.
This ensures the clarity and efficacy of the Mentorship process and ensures that the Mentor is delivering the service for which the client has contracted.

Health Creation Mentors see themselves as part of a wider team of healthcare practitioners, such as doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, and other practitioners and therapists.
They act as anchors and patient navigators within a truly whole-health creation endeavor.
