No other technology than a phone is needed for participants to connect for one hour weekly for six weeks to a trained Live Well Leader who facilitates the sessions. In these weekly interactive calls, the Leader reviews materials and the group explores different self-management tools such as action planning, problem solving, decision making, communication, healthy eating, physical activity, and planning for the future.
Workshop participants receive FREE toolkits, including a Living a Healthy Life book, an instruction booklet, and exercise and relaxation CD’s.
Participants are asked to share their address and phone number to have materials mailed directly to their home. All materials are theirs to keep.
