Become a Healthy Living Leader

Share your caring and commitment to make a difference in your community by helping older adults:

• Learn strategies to better manage chronic health conditions,
• improve their everyday quality of life, and
• feel more in charge of their health.

Healthy Living is an evidence-based program proven to help participants enhance their well-being and improve everyday health by learning skills throughout a six-week workshop. The workshops are for older adults who live with chronic health conditions, or are caregivers for those who do. No formal health education is required to be a leader, but rather the desire to help others and willingness to follow the scripted program. Two trained lay leaders facilitate each Healthy Living workshop and model skills and activities in adherence to the training manuals provided.

Applications are due February 10, 2025 to attend the required four-day Leader Core Training in the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program taking place March 3,4,5 and 6 in Urbana, Ohio. Pre-screening is required of all applicants, and there is no cost to attend the training. Applications are available here.
