Wisdom Warriors
Northwest Regional Council and tribal partners
Wisdom Warriors adapts the Stanford CDSMP curriculum for tribal elders, with culturally relevant content, food, and activities. The program was developed by Northwest Regional Council in partnership with Washington tribes and Title VI nutrition programs. Participants meet for six weekly sessions to learn self-management skills (medication, exercise, nutrition, communication with providers, problem-solving), then continue in alumni groups that meet monthly or quarterly to maintain practices and stay connected.
Who qualifies
Open to tribal elders 50 and older, both enrolled tribal members and non-enrolled relatives, depending on the host's policy.
What it covers
Better self-management of chronic conditions in a culturally aligned setting, plus a continuing community of fellow elders managing similar conditions.
Cost
Free at all sites. Meals are typically provided.
