If you qualified for a program you have 3 choices as to how you would like the program administered, by phone, mail or online.
Personalized lifestyle interventions by phone
Participants involved in the phone-based program work one-on-one with a Health Coach over a series of three monthly phone calls at to assess their readiness to change, set goals, discuss barriers and strategies, document progress toward goals and more. This program also includes additional health education resources by mail or e-mail and two follow-up calls to ensure that the participant remains on track with the behavior changes.
Personal-paced lifestyle interventions by mail
The mail-based interventions begin with a personalized welcome and program review that introduces participants to the benefits of committing to behavior change. Participants continue to receive ongoing personalized letters, along with educational brochures and booklets designed to help them set goals, identify barriers and build skills for overcoming them, make progress on new behaviors, strategize self-rewards, and stay motivated over six mailings at one-month intervals with a program evaluation included in the last mailing. The participants can call the StayWell HelpLine at any time to talk to a Health Coach regarding questions on the program or to get additional information.
Personalized lifestyle interventions online
The online programs are six-week, self-paced programs that offer guidance and support in staying healthy or preventing major health problems. Participants receive weekly e-mail “to-do” lists prompting them to go online and work on their health topic area.
These programs are available for both the employees and their spouses and comply with all privacy and confidentiality laws. If you have any questions regarding these programs please call the StayWell HelpLine at 1-800-926-5455 (Mon-Thurs 9am-9pm; Fri 9am-7pm; Sat 9am-1pm).
