Personal Action Toward Health (PATH) for Diabetes Offered

6 Tuesdays: September 23 - October 28 Time: 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Orion Beaumont Wellness Center, 1335 Joslyn Road, Lake Orion

The PATH for Diabetes workshop provides information and skills to adults with diabetes and their family members. Workshops are run by trained leaders who hold informal, small group discussions and provide easy-to-understand course materials. Facilitators explain ways to reduce pain and stress, cope with fatigue, use medications wisely, and benefit from healthy eating and exercise. Participants also learn about self-help methods that can enhance daily activities. They are encouraged to practice these skills by making weekly action plans and helping each other to achieve their goals.

The workshop is sponsored by Michigan State University Extension. The cost is $30 for the full six weeks. To register:
