Struggling to get your patients to stick to their treatment plans? You’re not alone. Let’s face it—fostering lasting behaviour change is tough, and at times, even frustrating. Especially with those tricky chronic and relapsing-remitting conditions.  

That’s exactly why we created this 3-week online course. As part of the Pillars of Excellence Series, it’s designed to tackle the real-life challenges clinicians face—like resistance to treatment, communication barriers, and lifestyle changes for chronic disease. You’ll dive into proven behavioral science models and master techniques that even seasoned pros find game-changing.  

Ready to unlock the secrets to better patient outcomes (and save yourself a ton of stress)? Let’s make behaviour change easier, more effective, and dare we say—fun. Join us and reshape healthcare, one successful behaviour change at a time.

What our learners say

"So many great case studies, scripts, papers, and quizzes that fit right into practice! Getting patients to actually do the 'work' has become a lot easier, and the collaboration feels way more natural now."
"The videos were spot on—clear, engaging, and full of 'aha' moments I could use right away. The case studies were great and the papers added serious depth (like, 'oh, so *that’s* why this works'). It's satisfying to actually see patients getting on board and making progress.
