“
5 Peaks is a great program. They have a very caring staff and our students respond well to them.
The Certified Wellness Coach (CWC) role is a newly established position created to expand California's capacity to meet the growing behavioral health needs of children and youth. As part of the state's Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), this role is designed to build a larger, more diverse, and representative behavioral health workforce equipped with the training and supervision necessary to engage directly with young people where they live, learn, and grow.
Working under the supervision of a licensed professional, Wellness Coaches provide non-clinical support services that promote mental wellness and early intervention. This workforce of trained paraprofessionals provide timely, consistent, on-the-ground support to youth.
At 5 Peaks Youth Solutions, we provide innovative, school-based solutions through on-campus Certified Wellness Coaches who deliver individualized and group support throughout the school day. These coaches serve as on-campus promoters, coordinators, and trusted resources for student social, emotional, and mental well-being.
Core Services provided by Wellness Coaches include Wellness promotion and education, Screening, Care coordination and extension, Individual support, Group support, and Crisis referral.
