Youth Empowerment Programme

This programme has been designed to provide valuable training opportunities for those interested in working with young people who are affected by Type 1 or type 2 diabetes and/or are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this programme is to facilitate the development of innovative programmes to address the obesity problem in Bermuda as well as helping those with type 1 diabetes manage their diabetes for long term health benefits. Lorne Abramson and Shelley Yeager are the two overseas facilitators. Lorne is the immediate past president of the Diabetes education and camping Association and Shelley currently is employed by Diabetes Outreach but served as the director of the Clara Barton (Joslin) diabetes camp for girls for 28 years. Both Lorne and Shelley have a wealth of experience in developing programmes to address the obesity/diabetes epidemic in today’s young people. We are extremely fortunate that we can offer this programme to you and thanks to the Bermuda Diabetes Association it is offered at no cost.
