The Library is partnering with the American Diabetes Association to bring Project Power to our community by hosting this important, no-cost, 12-week program at various Library locations across the parish. 

Project Power is an innovative diabetes lifestyle change program from the American Diabetes Association® that raises diabetes awareness and offers diabetes risk reduction education to people with diabetes and prediabetes nationwide. 

By promoting healthy lifestyles, healthy eating, and increased physical activity, this diabetes risk reduction program will educate the public on diabetes and remove barriers to treatment— including destigmatizing diabetes and identifying and removing social determinants of health-related barriers. 

Over the duration of the program, healthcare provider coaches work closely with participants in a small group setting to help them break old habits, create new ones, set attainable goals, and keep them motivated.
