Leader Training

First United Methodist Church of Tacoma - 621 Tacoma Ave S Tacoma 98402 , from Jun 27, 2013 09:00 AM to Jun 27, 2013 04:30 PM

Are you motivated to live your healthiest life and help others do the same? Do you have good listening and communication skills? Do you want to assist people to feel more in control and build their self-confidence? Do you want to help folks with chronic conditions manage their lives through positive role modeling and facilitate chronic disease self management workshops in your area? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, please consider becoming a volunteer facilitator or Lay Leader for the Living Well with Chronic Conditions workshops. Workshops are made up of 6 sessions, held once a week for 2 ½ hours per session. Facilitator or Lay Leader training was developed by the Stanford University Patient Education Research Center. You are invited to participate in the four day training. The minimum requirements: 1) you must complete the full 4-day training to become certified as a Lay Leader and 2) you agree to help facilitate a minimum of two, six week workshops per year to maintain your certification. Lay Leaders work in teams of two, so consider attending with a friend. It is strongly recommended that Lay Leaders are individuals living with a chronic condition and be a peer leader, rather than a health or social service professional. It is also very helpful if interested individuals have attended a Chronic Disease Self-Management Program workshop as a participant prior to attending the Lay Leader training.
