This webinar introduces a positive psychology lens for diabetes care, showing how clinicians can help individuals with diabetes build lifestyles that feel psychologically nourishing, not just medically correct. Rather than focusing solely on risk and problem-solving, we’ll explore how to weave well-being, motivation, and strengths into everyday diabetes education and support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the PERMA framework—Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment—participants will learn practical strategies to enhance motivation, resilience, and self-management. We’ll examine how PERMA aligns with key behavior-change principles such as autonomy, connection, and confidence-building, and translate these ideas into simple questions, reframes, and counseling approaches that can be used immediately in healthcare professionals’ practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCourse Topics:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding PERMA and its relevance to sustainable health behaviors in diabetes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting PERMA with Self-Determination Theory to deepen motivation and self-management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplying PERMA-based strategies and questions in everyday diabetes education and coaching.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCourse Objectives:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplain how positive psychology complements traditional diabetes education by focusing on flourishing, resilience, and sustainable behavior change rather than solely addressing deficits or clinical outcomes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply the PERMA framework (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment) as a practical tool to support nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and diabetes self-management behaviors in clinical practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify evidence-based strategies and coaching prompts informed by positive psychology and Self-Determination Theory that make healthy lifestyle behaviors more enjoyable, meaningful, strengths-based, and socially supported, thereby increasing their sustainability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.5 CE credits\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAMA PRA Category 1™\u003c\/em\u003e, ACPE, ANCC, CDR accredited)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn-demand course\u003c\/strong\u003e with video presentation, podcast, and downloadable resources\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tools\u003c\/strong\u003e for immediate application in clinical practice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 full year of access\u003c\/strong\u003e to all course materials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActivity dates:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\/14\/2026 to 9\/14\/2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated completion time:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1 hour and 30 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExpert Instructor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Evgeniya Evans, MS, RDN, CDCES, is a positive psychology practitioner with extensive expertise in mindful eating, medical nutrition therapy, and person-centered diabetes education.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e RNs, RDNs, pharmacists, providers, and healthcare professionals seeking to integrate mindful eating strategies into diabetes education and support individuals in building sustainable, healthy relationships with food\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePart of Our Training Programs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This course is included in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/diabetesedstore.net\/products\/level-5-advanced-specialty-topics\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLevel 5 | Specialty Topics with the Experts\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccredited by: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAMA PRA Category 1™\u003c\/em\u003e, ACPE, ANCC, CDR!
