00409641.jpgHealthier Living Colorado Workshops...A 6-week Chronic Disease Self Management Program

(Classes available different dates/sites throughout the year)

Have you or someone you love been diagnosed with Diabetes or Pre-Diabetes? The workshop uses an evidence-based approach that will benefit your health through active self management. Participants will improve their health and increase their quality of life by finding practical ways to deal with better nutrition and exercise choices, understand new treatment options, and learn better ways to talk with your doctor and family about your health.  Workshop leaders teach concrete steps such as goal setting, creating action plans, relaxation techniques, healthy eating and communication skills.  For more information or to find a class in your neighborhood see Read More below.  

A recent participant said, "A heartfelt thank you for providing me the tools to approach this unfortunate disease. In a way it has strengthened me already - I feel certain the "sacrifices" I have to make of eating consciously...and moving my body on purpose, are hardly a giving something up! Again, I thank you for being the gentle intelligent person you are."
