Responsibility 3

 Implement Health Education Strategies, Interventions, and Programs

Competency A: Initiate a plan of action
Sub-competency 4 - Facilitate groups

During my time with the American Lung Association, I had the privilege of facilitating and being apart of Better Breathers Club, a support group for adults with any type of lung disease.  At first I was a little nervous, since I've never facilitated a group of older adults before, but I found out right away that this group is amazing and that I can relate to them since I have asthma as well.  We met on the first Tuesday of every month at the copper-top church on Central Entrance.  My responsibilities were to bring food/snacks and make coffee, lead the arm/breathing exercises before the speaker came, and to assist our guest speaker in any way.  Like I said before, this group of 8-10 people was amazing, and I am thankful to have met each and every one of them.
