Our BHP is tailored to meet the needs of nursing professionals, focusing on restoring balance, building resilience, and enhancing personal and professional well-being.
By enrolling in The Becoming Method™, you’re not just paying for a program—you’re investing in a future where you’ll transform lives, including your own. With expert mentorship, hands-on experience, and world-class education, your tuition opens the door to a rewarding career in trauma recovery and mental health.
The Better Health Program (BHP) is designed with you in mind, providing a compassionate alternative that respects your professional integrity and personal circumstances. Unlike traditional programs, we offer you a choice and a voice in your recovery process, ensuring that you are not just heard but also supported by people who truly understand the healing power of mindful engagement.
Join us to embark on a journey toward better health where you are regarded not just as a nurse, but as a whole person deserving of care and respect.
The Better Health Program is an innovative initiative developed by the Becoming Institute to support nurses in managing the unique challenges of their profession, particularly those related to mental health and well-being. Recognizing the critical need for specialized care for healthcare professionals, BHP offers a structured yet flexible approach to personal and professional recovery.
The program spans 16 weeks and is designed to fit into the busy schedules of nursing professionals without compromising their work and personal commitments.
The program includes 4 tailored modules that include stress management and the restoration of a strong sense of safety, 7 psychotherapeutic sessions to support emotional healing and mindfulness, a 3-day retreat focused on resilience training, and 7 group coaching sessions to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
BHP provides a robust support system consisting of professional counsellors and RN-psychotherapists who specialize in trauma recovery, peer support, and a wrap-around process that links you with a team of practitioners who holistically treat burnout, mental illness, and a variety of trauma responses, especially to unresolved childhood trauma.
Unlike programs that nurses might be mandated to attend due to professional issues, BHP offers a voluntary, non-punitive approach, emphasizing choice and confidentiality.
Our program is designed by experienced healthcare professionals who understand the nuances of nursing. This insider perspective ensures that the strategies and support provided are relevant and practically applicable.
We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. BHP integrates physical, emotional, and psychological wellness into one comprehensive program.
BHP is committed to empowering nurses to take charge of their health and well-being through education, support, and personal growth. By participating in BHP, nurses not only enhance their ability to care for themselves but also improve their capacity to provide the best care for their patients.
At the Better Health Program (BHP), our philosophy is deeply rooted in the principles of Ubuntu, which asserts, “I am because we are.” This philosophy underscores the profound interconnectedness of all individuals, emphasizing that each person’s well-being is intrinsically linked to the collective health of the community. It guides every aspect of our program—from individual treatment to community engagement, ensuring a comprehensive approach to healing that honors both collective and individual journeys.

Vulnerability is the cornerstone of healing. Share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences honestly with your therapist and within group sessions. This level of openness can lead to deeper insights and transformative breakthroughs. For example, participants who have shared their past challenges with honesty often report significant progress in their healing journeys.
At the start of the program, you’ll have the opportunity to identify up to five personal goals in your intake form. These goals will help guide the therapeutic process and keep the focus on what matters most to you. For example, participants who set specific objectives, such as improving coping skills or enhancing emotional resilience, often see tangible improvements in these areas by the end of the program.
Therapy can sometimes challenge you to confront difficult emotions or beliefs. Being open to constructive feedback and willing to explore discomfort as part of the process can lead to profound growth. Participants who lean into this discomfort often discover new strengths and experience meaningful personal development.
Your full participation in therapy sessions, workshops, and group coaching is essential for success. Show up ready to engage, reflect, and apply what you learn to your daily life. The more you invest in the process, the more you will benefit from it.
View the program as a partnership between you and your therapist or facilitators. By maintaining open communication, seeking support when needed, and sharing feedback, you contribute to a collaborative environment that fosters personalized care and effective outcomes.
Success is built on consistent effort. Celebrate your milestones, no matter how small, and stay committed to your goals. Each step forward, whether through a new coping strategy or an emotional breakthrough, is a testament to your dedication to a healthier and more fulfilling life.
At the Better Health Program (BHP), we are here to support you every step of the way. Whether you have questions about the program, need to reschedule a session, or simply want to reach out for guidance, our team is ready to assist you.
