HCAI is updating the requirements to become a Certified Wellness Coach (CWC), expanding the number of eligible degree programs in the education and workforce pathways, and increasing field experience requirements in the workforce pathway.

The goals of the profession remain the same: CWC roles add career opportunities for qualified individuals from diverse backgrounds with associate or bachelor’s degrees to specialize in behavioral health. Under the supervision of qualified professionals, coaches provide important support to children and youth. The CWC profession is also designed to be a steppingstone to future career opportunities, such that the coaches of today might continue their professional journey and become the clinicians and counselors of tomorrow.
