	Personal Empowerment for Diabetes Prevention People need to understand the factors that encourage and hinder us in engaging in healthy eating, physical activity and interpersonal relationships. An examination of these factors from a personal perspective can empower us to make decisions that will support healthy lifestyle change, for diabetes prevention.   The objectives of the two-day workshop are: Participants will understand basic information about diabetes, eating habits, physical activity habits and stress factors. Participants will examine their lifestyle patterns, activities and perceptions about health and wellness in relation to diabetes prevention. Participants will develop personal action plans to introduce changes into their lives. Participants will understand the importance of role modeling healthy lifestyles for diabetes prevention for themselves, their family and others. The host agency must provide two lunches (menu will be planned with the facilitator).   Community Mobilization for Diabetes Prevention This 5 day workshop “Community Mobilization for Diabetes Prevention” (KSDPP Training Program in Diabetes Prevention) will involve participants in: Understanding the background for successful diabetes prevention.
