October Greetings

A few years ago, I drastically changed my approach to diabetes self-management education as a result of participating in the Embark Trial Research Team.

To my surprise, the innovative coaching techniques I learned and applied in the Embark study upped my game and improved my skills. With this new approach, I feel a deeper sense of connection and experience more success when providing care to people with diabetes.

The good news is that we are ready to share these techniques with you. We have reassembled the Embark Instructional team to provide the evidence-based tools and the step-by-step approach in our ReVive 5 Diabetes Training Program. 

We distilled the most important skills and content from the Embark study and packaged it into our four-session ReVive 5 Program.

ReVive 5 Training Program – First session FREE

Our first ReVive 5 class of the four-session series starts November 1st. Good news! As part of our opening launch celebration, we are inviting you to join the first training session for FREE.

For this newsletter, we feature interviews from the Embark Training and Research Team. Enjoy the wisdom of these two amazing pioneers in the field of Diabetes Distress. Plus, Coach Beverly shares the impact of the trial on her approach.

If you feel like a challenge, take a moment to check out our Question and Rationale of the Week. We are excited to announce our New and Improved Online University is up and running. You are invited to stop by, kick off your shoes and get comfy.

In recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we are honored to share the poem, “Remember” by Poet Laureate, Joy Harjo.

Thank you for caring and advocating on behalf of people living with diabetes. With gratitude,

Beverly, Bryanna, and Amanda
