Basic Training: Essential Elements for Facilitation of Evidence-Based Health Promotion Programs
Basic Training is a required pre-requisite for WIHA programs including Stepping On, Mind Over Matter: Healthy Bowels, Healthy Bladder, and Stand Up for Your Health. Additionally, the Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging (WIHA) encourages anyone facilitating or working with evidence-based programs to review this course.

What Users are Saying:
The course was well organized and informative. I think the module about how adults interact and learn will be especially helpful. The questions throughout the modules helped focus on the most important information, and did a great job preparing one for the assessment at the end of the module.
