Avoidant help seeking is a unique risk factor that conventional support systems on college campuses often fail to adequately address. Humanistic coaching has recently been utilized by some universities as a successful alternative to typical student service strategies to address the needs of students from foster care. In this study, perspectives from four coaches and five students who were involved in a campus-based coaching program were analyzed to determine how they perceived help-seeking beliefs and behaviors. Using a hybrid thematic analysis approach, the authors found that humanistic coaching provided an opportunity to develop a transformational relationship between the coaches and the students. This relationship was perceived by both students and coaches as shifting students’ avoidant help-seeking beliefs and behaviors to adaptive help-seeking beliefs and behaviors. The transformative relationship promoted the students’ self-determination by creating a sense of relatedness, autonomy, and competency.","PeriodicalId":89967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of college and character","volume":"24 1","pages":"1 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44572255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ignoring what they learned before college is contrary to student affairs work and missed opportunities for moral development and to practice critical thinking. J. K.
