Community Education

Diabetes Yarning is a two-hour interactive workshop delivered to community in person or via Zoom. It opens the conversation about health before colonisation, how the body works, what happens inside the body with diabetes, and strategies to manage type 2 diabetes. 

The workshop helps Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people understand diabetes so they can take preventative action and support those in their community living with diabetes.

The Diabetes in Schools program provides consistent, nationally developed information and training to help parents, families, principals, school staff, and health professionals support students with type 1 diabetes at school.

Managing type 1 diabetes at school can be overwhelming for students and families, and many school staff may feel uncertain about how to help. This program aims to bridge that gap, offering:

• tools and resources to assist in understanding type 1 diabetes
• training and support for schools and families to ensure students are fully supported at school.

The program has been co-designed with input from diabetes health professionals, parents, principals, and school staff, and is backed by leading Australian diabetes organisations. By working together, the program ensures students with type 1 diabetes can thrive at school.

Funded by the Australian Government through the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS), the Diabetes in Schools program is administered in the Northern Territory by Healthy Living NT.
