Lunch and Learns

If your organization is interested in implementing self-management into practice a lunch and learn can be very beneficial to ensure a consistent and coherent understanding and approach to self-management.

These sessions can also be highly beneficial for those organizations that may have already received some training in self-management, and/or are currently running the Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions workshop.

A needs assessment will allow Living Healthy Champlain to identify your organization’s current approach to implementing self-management and support overcoming some barriers that could prevent  you from  utilizing the skills you have learned.

Please contact Rachel Bowen, Regional Coordinator, Chronic Disease Self-Management for more information.
