Below are the links for the skill building course materials, one course for each of the eight self-care areas of the Circle of Health. Each course has a faculty guide, PowerPoint slide set, Veteran handout, and mindful awareness script. Some courses may include additional materials, such as Veteran tools. The first set of materials, “Introduction to the Whole Health Skill Building Courses,” will help orient you to the rest. These materials include a PowerPoint with introductory slides that can be used in any of the courses to introduce Whole Health concepts.
You can also access recordings of two webinars conducted in September 2018. These webinars offer general tips for teaching the courses and then dive into more detail about how to teach specific courses. Information on the webinars is included below the listings for the courses themselves. Also included are an evaluation form that can be used after any of the courses and a guide for giving PowerPoint presentations.
