Partners conducts evidence-based workshops for low-income, community-dwelling older adults with challenging chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, or chronic pain. Most community wellness workshops are available online, in-person, or by telephone. In English or Spanish.
Through federal grant funding, Partners has built the California Healthier Living Coalition. The California Healthier Living Coalition is recognized by the National Council on Aging as a statewide falls prevention coalition in California, as it allows for sharing of best practices among coalition members, streamlining of tools and workflows, and data sharing.
If you are interested in signing up for a workshop, please email us at ebregistrations@picf.org or call 818-403-5452 .
