Are You Interested in Becoming a Live Well Leader?
- Live Well Leaders are people who are motivated to empower others to learn tools to help manage their chronic health conditions, set personal goals and solve problems. Live Well does not replace health care programs, it encourages people to become self-managers of their condition.
- Live Well Leaders must feel comfortable speaking in front of small groups while teaching from a detailed manual. Live Well Leaders always co-facilitate with another leader.
- Live Well Leaders are peers and professionals with or without a chronic health condition.
- Live Well Leaders complete a FREE 4-Day Training Program.
