Reveals how each one of them, and how all of them together, improve overall wellness. Introduces the BET I CAN model of change, which is based on seven drivers of change: Behaviors, Emotions, Thoughts, Interactions, Context, Awareness, and Next Steps. The model was proven scientifically in two randomized controlled trials.
