Walk with Ease
This site contains resources and support for you to deliver the Arthritis Foundation's "Walk with Ease" (WWE) program using the Self-Directed/Enhanced Model. In this model, not only do we encourage walking, but we emphasize and foster social support, embrace participant co-creation and leadership, and build confidence. The buttons below lead you to resources to help you deliver this program in the best way possible for your participants.
Note: Some of the resources and activities on this site are specifically designed for University of Minnesota SNAP-Ed educators' training requirements.
