Peer Leader Training Opportunity!
February 02, 2012

The “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions” workshop helps people with chronic health conditions to better manage their symptoms and their daily life. It is FREE to participants, and participants receive the Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions reference book for free. All participants must pre-register for a workshop. We suggest participants attend all six sessions if possible. The more sessions attended, the more benefit!

The workshop is led by two leaders who have taken special training. The leaders are volunteers or health care professionals, many of whom have chronic conditions themselves

Peer Leader Training is four 8-hour days. This training will consist of two days the first week and two the following week. Training will be held in English.

Leaders are individuals interested in teaching and empowering others to better manage their chronic conditions and to live a healthy life. As a leader, you will have the satisfying task of integrating the contents of the program and learning group facilitation skills that can be transferred to other areas of your life. Most importantly, you will watch people affected by chronic conditions successfully manage their health conditions by using the skills and tools that you have shared with them.

Leaders may be lay people or health care professionals. Regardless, they act as peers when leading the workshop, not as health experts. Two Peer Leaders always work together to deliver the workshops.

If you would like to register please contact 1.877.240.3941 or click here:

The Training session will be held in English, however we can provide French Peer Leader manuals to those who wish to facilitate the workshops in either language.
