What Certified SSR Coaches CAN and CANNOT do
This probably won’t come as a surprise: This certification will not allows you to put MD, PhD, RD, RN or CNRP after your name. Therefore, after being certified, you will not maybe…
diagnose people with sleep problems or stress disorders
❌ prescribe something to directly treat any medical condition or health concern — especially drugs or supplements
❌ offer targeted advice that could reasonably be considered part of medical therapy, such as asking someone to “stop taking an antidepressant until you try…”
request “diagnosis”, “treatment”, “cure” or “prescribe” as part of your practice
❌ claim to magically eliminate all human suffering with your magic training plans
However, the above aside, you can still do a lot. You can still be part of your support team and customer care community. With that role, you can…
✅ offers general recommendations for healthy lifestyle practices in most jurisdictions
✅ share healthy lifestyle education using materials from a public or well known organization like the American Sleep Association, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics , and of course, PN
✅ Actively listen and empathize with customers’ difficulties
✅ help clients better understand their circumstances and be able to come up with their own solutions — thereby inspiring and empowering them to take action on their behalf
✅ provide accountability, structure and support
✅ help clients advocate for themselves with their medical team — for example, by helping them collect data about what they’re seeing, so that conversations with their healthcare provider can be as efficient and informative as possible
✅ share reputable, evidence-based, and helpful sources for them to discuss with their medical team
✅ help clients implement the plan given by their medical team. For example, it may be difficult for clients to consistently carry out medical instructions in their daily lives — they may need help with skills such as planning, preparing, prioritizing and Break tasks into smaller, more manageable segments. You can help with all of these.
✅ provide additional, behavior-based coaching to help them develop basic nutrition, mobility, and lifestyle skills and practices to support healthcare provider medical advice
