CHEEERS is
currently seeking donations to support the addition of an exercise room on our
campus, to go along with a new program we are offering called Whole Health
Action Management. (WHAM). Given the high
incidence of chronic physical health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease
and obesity among people with mental illnesses and addictions, WHAM training is
a health plan developed by peers for peers to help them improve chronic health
and behavioral health conditions. The training is based on the curriculum
developed by the SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions (run by the
National Council for Behavioral Health) to promote whole health self-management
and strengthen the peer workforce’s role in integrated healthcare delivery.
