Please join the AZ Living Well Institute and the Area Agency on Aging, Region 8, Inter Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA) for the monthly webinar “Cross-Culturally Appropriate Chronic Disease Self-Management ”.  This webinar will detail an evidence-based chronic disease self management program (CDSMP) developed by Stanford Patient Education Research Center that is having a positive and empowering effect on people’s lives.  The program is know as Tribal Living Well and Healthy Living (CDSMP) in Arizona and is 6 week workshop that increases self-management skills to improve quality of life of those living with an on-going health condition as well as their caregivers and loved ones. CDSMP does not replace traditional health education classes but serves as a complement to improve patient understanding of how to live with their condition and improve communication with their medical team.  Cultural adaptability of CDSMP will be discussed as well as culturally appropriate mechanism for referral of Tribal members with possible application to other ethnic populations.

Please share this webinar invitation with your partners and all who may be interested in learning more about culturally appropriate recruitment and delivery of CDSMP!

Comment from previous Living Well Institute Webinar:

“I received so many ideas for outreach and capacity building by participating in the AZ Living Well Webinar; New Year, New You. The networking and sharing at the end was very valuable to me as a means to expand my contacts. Thank you for all your efforts in making these webinars available.”

AZ Living Well Institute webinars will continue on the 3rd Thursday each month.  Webinars are planned for March 15th and April 19th.  Please contact the AZ Living Well Institute if you have ideas for additional webinar topics.
