Healthy Lifestyle Facilitator I Certificate Course
Healthy Lifestyle Facilitator I Certificate Course
Lagom Healthy Lifestyle Facilitators are health professionals who have specific knowledge that allows them to facilitate their clients’ integration of a Lagom Healthy Lifestyle.
It means that Lagom Facilitators master the fundamentals of what we call a Lagom healthy lifestyle: The importance of adopting a balanced healthy lifestyle, the holistic vision of a healthy lifestyle with its 16 interrelated pillars, plus the specific Lagom perspective on facilitating healthy lifestyles.
In addition, Lagom Facilitators are able to incorporate these fundamentals into their daily practices. They are able to enrich the interventions with their clients with relevant information, out-of-the-box perspectives, and impactful examples, to foster their clients’ healthy lifestyle literacy and self-awareness.
Besides that, Lagom Facilitators are important role models to their clients. This is because they have acquired an enhanced consciousness of themselves, and they work every day to assimilate the Lagom healthy lifestyle principles into their own lifestyle.
WHAT DOES OUR FACILITATOR COURSE OFFER?
Our Healthy Lifestyle Facilitator certificate course offers a learning sprint about what is a holistic view on health and well-being, and how health professionals can help their clients developing a balanced healthy lifestyle. The course qualifies you to carry the title of a Certified Lagom Healthy Lifestyle Facilitator. Plus, it is a pre-condition to become a Certified Lagom Healthy Lifestyle Mentor.
COURSE GOALS
Our primary goal is to support you to better accompany your clients to start or keep enjoying a more balanced healthy lifestyle. For it, the course provides you with a comprehensive, holistic and integrated vision of what we consider to be relevant aspects of a Lagom healthy lifestyle. The course gives you a basic understanding of how different aspects of a healthy lifestyle influence each other. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body, behaviors, feelings, mindsets, and relationships, and it encourages you to view these as a system. In addition, we introduce you to the Lagom Healthy Lifestyle Mentoring Approach. As a Lagom Healthy Lifestyle Facilitator you grasp the importance and potential of behavior-based health prevention strategies, and you understand how to analyze and categorize the needs and requirements of your clients.

You experience a learning journey filled with evidence-based educational content, engaging practice-orientated case studies, and hands-on examples for analysing and supporting your clients.

TARGET GROUP
Everyone who is interested in learning something new about a holistic approach to healthy lifestyle is warmly welcome to join our courses. So, there is no pre-qualification required to join our facilitator course.

PATHWAY TOWARDS BECOMING A LAGOM MENTOR
The Lagom Healthy Lifestyle Facilitator is our level 1 course through which health professionals immerse themselves and their clients in the Lagom healthy lifestyle view and pave the way for change. However, for change to actually happen and to be sustainable, health professionals should continue deepening their knowledge. They should acquire specific relational and technical skills, and put together an adequate toolbox to best support their clients to make a positive change. This knowledge can be acquired through the Lagom Healthy Lifestyle Mentor Course.
Whether you are a physiotherapist, a personal coach, a nurse, a nutrition specialist, a general practitioner, or a psychologist you know that most of your clients have difficulties to start or maintain a healthy lifestyle. They are overwhelmed by existing information. They don’t know where to start, or they are not able to make the transfer to their own situation. At the same time, they feel they are not supported enough or not in a customized way. They often end up being sent from one expert to another, without having anyone who supports them to connect the dots.
In parallel, you as a health professional, you have deep knowledge in certain aspects of a healthy lifestyle, but you probably lack knowledge in a variety of others. You are super familiar with your corner of the health system, but you are not really connected to other disciplines. It means that you can´t help your client to develop a holistic healthy lifestyle, and thus really solve their problems. At the same time, existing information often lacks to provide applicable tools and support for you as a health professional to help your clients to make a change.
