LORHN staff are trained Leaders for the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP), an evidence-based program originally developed at Stanford University. Workshops are offered to rural residents for free, in six-week series with up to 15 participants meeting weekly for 2.5 hours. This workshop focuses specifically on diabetes self-management for the full six weeks. Though much of the content and skills taught are similar to the Chronic Disease Self-Management workshop, there are also variations specific for individuals living with diabetes, for example:
- monitoring
- avoiding complications
- stress management
Spouses, partners, caregivers, and adult children are welcome to join participants in the series.
Complete our interest form to let us know your availability and contact information to send you an invitation for an upcoming workshop. If you have a group of 8-12 individuals we will work you with you to coordinate a private workshop series as well.
