Healthy Living Practitioner Certificate
Develop healthy living interventions
Learn how to assess lifestyle behaviors and subsequently develop and implement Healthy Living Interventions. As an HLP, you’ll focus on the primordial and primary prevention of chronic diseases as well as secondary prevention in those already diagnosed with a lifestyle related disease.
HLPs are committed to supporting behavior changes towards Healthy Living and helping to ensure these changes are maintained over the long-term. As an HLP, you’ll participate in a broad range of activities related to the field including individual/ patient care, program development and implementation, teaching, research and leadership activities related to Healthy Living Medicine.
