Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Peer-Led Health Empowerment Modelmethodology: peer_health_navigationBy training older adults with lived experience as peer facilitators and health navigators, we improve engagement and self-management of chronic conditions, because shared experience builds trust and models achievable behavior change.
