A two-day 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 two 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
  • Brainstorm current community assets and build bridges to address current gaps 
  • Discuss community-based approaches to keeping the blood flowing including traditional approaches (traditional foods, traditional medicines, and cultural activities) 
  • Apply the role of empowerment and inspire hope in the possibilities 
  • 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 
  • Develop a plan to begin using new skills when you return to work

IDEA Diabetes Workshop Policies

We truly understand that life happens. This is why we have tried to create a flexible approach to our workshop policies. 

  • After registration, if you are no longer able to attend, we are willing to offer you a credit for a future session or the option to send someone in your place. 
  • It is not necessary to commit to all three workshops from the beginning. We invite you to join us for Stepping Stone #1 and determine if our approach is a good fit for you and the community you work with. 
  • Since the workshop offering is virtual, it is optimal if participants have access to a high-speed internet connection, a camera and a microphone to have the full experience from participation, however we recognize that this can be a challenge and still encourage people to participate, in whatever way they can.
