Stepping Stones Diabetes Workshop
Stepping Stone 1: Spark Interest, Build Trust, and Inspire Hope
A three-day starter workshop designed to ignite interest in a different way to think, talk, and do diabetes, based upon a foundation of hope, empowerment, and equity. Over three days, participants will consider the opportunities for better outcomes and a better future for people with diabetes and how each one of us can make a difference. Participants will engage in a workshop that sparks hope and brings to life the possibilities for people with diabetes in their communities.
Learning objectives:
- Consider a community based approach to diabetes prevention and screening, for the faces yet to come

- Learn about current state of the art tools and technologies available today for diabetes self-management
- Discuss the many influences on individual and societal relationships with food and ways to support a joyful and comfortable approach to food for diabetes
- Draw on your own experiences to create options for optimal diabetes care
- Learn why current approaches to diabetes care perpetuate the acute/medical care model and how to change this approach
- Improve diabetes knowledge and practical application skills for the real world
