Living Well in Idaho
Become an ACTIVE manager of your chronic illness.
Many people find it challenging to lead an active and fulfilling life when they have a chronic health problem. Diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, asthma, lung disease, arthritis and other chronic conditions can affect not only overall health but can have serious impact on quality of life and emotions. However, there are proven tools to help you manage long term health problems; cope with fear, frustration, fatigue and anger; and lead a vibrant life.
Living Well in Idaho is a workshop for people with chronic health problems and their family members. The Living Well program is proven at building the confidence and motivation of participants to manage their chronic disease(s) and take better care of themselves. It works!
The workshop consists of six consecutive classes held once per week.
Welcome to Friends in Action!
Friends in Action is a volunteer-based organization that provides compassionate, friend-to-friend assistance to frail elders and their families. Our volunteers provide a safety net to older persons living alone and without help. Our volunteers provide relief to families who are weary from the demands of caregiving. Each elder helped is an accomplishment of hope. Friends in Action is how elder care should work.
For five years we have been making a difference in the lives of seniors in the Treasure Valley. Our volunteers, partners and donors prove that by working together we can do more than we ever thought possible to improve the lives of our valued neighbors.
You can help us broaden our capacity to serve seniors and their families. We invite you to learn more about our services. We thrive on new and experienced volunteers and are always ready to welcome you as a volunteer. Become a service partner. Become a donor. Help us promote participation, independence and dignity for all of our older neighbors. We welcome you to Friends in Action.
