Self coaching – behavioral addiction prophylaxis

Addiction to Internet, social media, video games, pornography, shopping, eating or gambling – are the most common behavioral addictions. These – according to WHO standards – are treated as diseases. One of successful tools against it proposed by Foundation for Family Planning is self coaching. It’s a novel method of behavioral addiction prevention based on being one’s own coach. That requires accurate knowledge of one’s capabilities, limitations, emotions and behavior. Put it shortly, self coaching is a valuable and important ability, worth learning and maintaining for one’s own development. Through learning of one’s own strong and weak sides, it’s easier to handle temptations and lead a balanced life.

In 2013 Foundation for Family Planning team fulfilled a pilot program “Self coaching – behavioral addiction prophylaxis”, mainly amongst middle-school students. In 2014, the project is mostly addressed to youngsters in correctional facilities, troubled neighborhood daycares and rehabilitation facilities.

Project’s objectives:

– enhance competencies for people professionally involved in correctional or educational work

– making the subject of behavioral addiction familiar to education workers and psychologists.

– making people aware of social and health consequences of behavioral addictions.

– creating a trend among teens for life without addiction

– increased vigilance of education workers and teachers for diagnosis of problems co-existing with behavioral addictions, as well as initial procedures in case of spotting a behavioral addiction.

– making coaching familiar as a method of correctional, preventative or psychological work

Project “Self coaching – behavioral addiction prophylaxis” is being fulfilled by Foundation for Family Planning in Wroclaw from May 1st 2014 through December 31 2014 and is being financed by Lower Silesia Marshall’s Office.
