Healthy Living Course
Description
Mendonoma Health Alliance has brought the power and knowledge of leading health education right to the Mendonoma community through our evidence-based Healthy Living Courses. The six-week courses were designed by Stanford University’s Self-Management Resource Center. Throughout each course, participants learn skills that build confidence and success for long-term management of health and medical conditions. Each course is open to people of all ages and is free to attend. Participants are provided with the course book and materials needed in order to be successful. Participants are required to attend all six classes, which are scheduled once per week for 2.5 hours, and will be expected to do group brainstorming and work one-on-one with other participants.
Local graduates have reported that the classes helped them feel supported in their journey to a healthier life, that they became more aware of community resources as a result of engaging and that they learned skills that are easily applied to various other challenges in life.

With each of the Healthy Living Courses, including Living A Healthy Life, Living A Healthy Life with Diabetes, and Living A Healthy Life with Chronic Pain, it is Mendonoma Health’s goal to assist participants in developing peer connections and to empower individuals to take charge of managing their chronic condition(s).
