Oswego County – Are you interested in bringing an evidence-based health workshop to your community organization? Oswego County residents and organizations can contact the Oswego County Health Department to bring a “Living Well” workshop or presentation to your community at no cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Living Well” is a series of interactive classes that occur weekly. Each workshop is facilitated by a trained lifestyle coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Living Well” workshop topics include: Diabetes Self-Management (once a week for six weeks); Chronic Pain Self-Management (choice of once or twice a week for six weeks); Chronic Disease Self-Management (once a week for six weeks); Cancer Thriving and Surviving (once a week for six weeks); Stepping-On Fall Prevention (once a week for seven weeks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the “Living Well” series, the health department offers free presentations on various health related topics, such as immunizations and communicable disease, summer safety, tick-borne and mosquito-borne disease, “rethink your drink” and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The department also offers evidence-based suicide prevention classes with special focuses available by request for seniors and caregivers, members of the LGBTQ+ community and firearm owners. Learn about recognizing signs of mental health crises, how to talk about mental health in general and receive access to local resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naloxone (Narcan) training is also available through the health department. Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse the effects of an overdose. The training is short, flexible and built to fit your schedule. Each participant receives a free naloxone kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Living Well” workshops and Naloxone trainings can be hosted in person or virtually based on your community’s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
