Living Well with Chronic Pain Facilitator Trainings

Healthy Living for ME is offering a free training for class facilitators who will educate, motivate, and inspire those living with chronic pain. Living Well with Chronic Pain Facilitators co-lead scripted, 6-week chronic disease self-management classes to provide participants with tips and tools for living a healthier life.

Volunteers and professionals alike are welcome to participate in the facilitator training and co-lead classes in this easy-to-follow program. All program materials are provided including leader manuals, participant books, and relaxations CDs.

 

Partnering community organizations providing trained facilitators to lead classes may be compensated $65 per class completer (those who attend a minimum of 4 of the 6 weekly sessions) and reap the benefits of staff and volunteers with enhanced skills that apply in other areas.
