Wellness coaching is an emerging dimension of health promotion programming. Wellness coaching uses a strength based approach by building on students’ strengths and past successes. Trigger tape videos (TTVs) are one method to deepen the fundamental and powerful concepts of wellness coaching and help strengthen students’ critical thinking skills.
