Q

What information would be a red flag under change of information?

A

When a health coach recognizes a change in behavior based on sleep, weight, energy, mood, or attention.

For example, you notice a client has had a sharp decrease in weight over the last three months and has expressed signs of depression.

When a change red flag is detected, referral to a qualified health professional in the related change field should take place.
