& Resources
The Southern Nevada Health District’s Office of Chronic Disease Prevention & Health Promotion is working with bilingual community health workers/promoters that were trained in the Maps curriculum to share resources for the Diabetes Self-Management Education MAPS community project.
Trained facilitators without a background in diabetes are required to take the Diabetes 101 PDF 10MB training, a self guided presentation that provides an overview of helpful diabetes topics, and take the quizzes provided at the end of each chapter in the Diabetes Go-To-Guide™, a brochure that covers diabetes basics. It should take approximately 1.5 hours to complete the Diabetes 101 and Diabetes Go-To-Guide™ prerequisite training modules prior to working with health district staff to provide community classes. This prerequisite does not apply to licensed health care professionals, including Registered Dietitians, Certified Diabetes Educators, Pharmacists, Nurses or Physicians who work with diabetes patients.
Although the Diabetes Conversation Map curriculum is comprehensive, the classes incorporate a Road to Health Toolkit resource that includes nutrition and physical activities for facilitators to engage participants in during class sessions three and six. For more details, see the Class Description PDF 11KB document. Each participant binder includes a Road to Health Toolkit Activities Guide PDF 6MB so it’s beneficial for facilitators to view the Road to Health Toolkit Video available in English and Spanish before facilitating a series of diabetes self management classes.
