Description

Through its youth diabetes work, menzies' 'DIABETES across the LIFECOURSE: Northern Australia Partnership' has identified a desire among clinicians to develop new strategies and skills to engage and communicate with young people with type 2 diabetes.

Renee works as a Peer Facilitator for menzies, providing peer support and diabetes education for other young people. Peer Facilitators are developing more effective ways to engage young people, explain complex diabetes concepts and reduce stigma.

In this presentation, you will have the opportunity to learn from Renee's work, taking home simple strategies that will improve their confidence when working with First Nations youth.
