You will lead and motivate participants within a group setting to take control of their lives in a positive way, raising their confidence and empowering them to develop the skills to set and achieve goals, make strong and supportive connections with their workshop peers, and make meaningful changes to their lifestyle to support their ongoing self management journey.
