Living Healthy Online is a six-week class held virtually once a week for 2½ hours. This course covers the same types of material as Living Healthy at Home, but goes more in depth. This class requires the use of a computer and webcam. Technical support is available to help people access the class and participants can receive a loaned webcam if they do not have one available.
Diabetes Self-Management Program meets online for 2½ hours weekly for 6 weeks. Participants learn techniques to manage symptoms of diabetes, healthy eating, appropriate exercise, working effectively with healthcare providers, and more.
All of the classes are available at no cost to adults age 60 and above who reside in Forsyth, Alamance, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Guilford, Randolph, Rockingham, Montgomery, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin counties. The classes are offered through the Piedmont Triad Regional Council Area Agency on Aging. All of the classes are offered at no cost to participants and funded through available federal, state and local funds with the option for voluntary consumer contributions if you choose.
We are currently enrolling for classes beginning in March. Additional sessions will start throughout the year. There are several time and day options, and staff will help place you in a class that best works for your schedule.
