Here’s what Juniper participants are saying about evidence-based wellness classes:
“I came away with such a positive attitude and so much more knowledge about preventing falls!”
“After taking this class, I am [a] more confident caregiver! Having tools to resolve problems in a definite advantage in becoming a better caregiver and a happier, wiser, healthier me and a healthier ‘us’!”
“I have learned there are people like me, not living life to the fullest because of a chronic condition, and that we can move forward.”
