Tasked with developing a supplemental group coaching session to help current and former DPP participants maintain their health, I chose to focus my supplemental sessions on “slip-ups”, which was a term discussed during the first part of the DPP core curriculum.

When I practiced my sessions with my peers, the biggest barrier to physical activity was time, so I was somewhat blindsided when a participant last year informed me they were retired and had all the time in the world.
