Free Living Well Workshop Training

We are currently recruiting lay leaders to teach Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) workshops. The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program is an evidence-based program developed by researchers at Stanford University. As a Chronic Disease Self-Management Program lay leader you would be trained to lead workshops, which cover subjects such as medication management, communication skills, problem solving, goal setting, handling difficult emotions, healthy eating, and physical activity. The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program workshops are taught by 2 trained lay leaders, and the 2 1/2 hour (including breaks) workshops are held once a week over 6 weeks in various community settings. This summer we have two lay leader trainings scheduled. These trainings are FREE of charge, but participants will need to bring their own lunch. No prior experience is necessary!

The first training will be held on:

July 9, July 10, July 16, and July 17 from 9 AM - 4:30 PM at the Church of the Advent in Madison, GA (338 Academy Street Madison, GA 30650).

The second training will be held on:

July 30, July 31, August 6, and August 7 from 9 AM-4:30 PM at the Institute of Gerontology on the UGA Health Sciences Campus (Hudson Hall, 102 Spear Road Athens, GA 30602).

Please contact Kristen Johnson at KBJohns12@gmail.com if you are interested in participating in either of these lay leader trainings or if you have questions about the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program.
