SchoolCare was founded in 1995 as the New Hampshire School Health Care Coalition by bringing together associations representing public entity management and labor groups in the state. The Coalition was formed in response to issues of providing employee health care, including quality, choice, cost control and service that public entities were facing. Today, over twenty-five years later, SchoolCare is still a well-regarded resource for public entities facing these same issues.

The Pulse of SchoolCare, November 2022
Let Health Coaching Be Your Guide to a Healthier, Less Stressed Version of You
.jpg "News Main Health Coaching")
Published November 11, 2022
After ending a 12-year-relationship, moving into a new home, quitting smoking and changing careers, 37-year-old Matt thought he was regaining a hold on his life. Then his younger sister died unexpectedly. Unable to cope by himself with the stress and depression after so much change in a short time, he sought help from Cigna’s stress management coaching program with a telephonic health coach.
On his first call, Matt’s coach listened to his challenges and helped put together a plan to address insecurity, low self-esteem, depression, loss of sleep and difficulty focusing. She also encouraged him to speak with a counselor through his Employee Assistance Program for further mental health support.
Through a series of coaching calls, Matt’s health coach helped him develop a plan for setting realistic expectations of himself, letting go of perfectionist tendencies and reintroducing an exercise routine in his life. She helped him rediscover enjoyment in exercising, which helped reduce stress and build back confidence. She helped Matt identify stress triggers and strategic ways to cope with them.
