For this month’s newsletter, we want to share articles of hope and value for our community.
Our first article highlights a new framework for providing diabetes self-management education and increasing those cherished “AHA” moments. As part of the team researching the effectiveness of the AH-HA framework, I’m sold on this simple and effective approach to encouraging self-discovery. The AH-HA program incorporates the 5 M framework, developed by Martha Funnell and team, creating an atmosphere of collaboration and empowerment for program participants. We have outlined the AH-HA program and invite you to experiment with this fresh approach when working with individuals or in group settings.
If you are looking for simple summer strategies to boost health, we have outlined three actions people with diabetes can take to improve their well-being. These achievable actions that are easy to kick-start and will provide blood glucose and health benefits long after summer fades into fall.
We invite you to join us in celebrating Bryanna’s August birthday. For the past 4 years, Bryanna has been a beacon of leadership, serving as our Director of Operations and visionary Customer Experience Advocate. Her recent initiatives, such as revitalizing our shopping cart images and reinforcing our commitment to inclusion and advocacy, have been truly inspiring. To kick off her birthday celebration, she suggested a $100 off summer sale, a suggestion we wholeheartedly embraced. And of course, we made sure her beloved cats, Biscuit and Muffin, were included in the celebration.
More good news. We are overjoyed to welcome Tiffany as the new Customer Advocate and Administrative Assistant to our team. Her calm and caring personality and her depth of knowledge of social media and education companies make her a fantastic addition to our team. As we continue to expand our community outreach, you will notice a revitalization of our Instagram platform and our Facebook CDCES Prep Page thanks to Tiffany’s hard work.
We celebrate our community every day and are deeply appreciative for all the hard work and dedication you put into improving diabetes care. Your efforts do not go unnoticed and we are truly grateful for your contributions.
Warmly, Coach Beverly, Bryanna, Tiffany, Christine, Andrew, and Ginger |
