Diabetes Turning Points is an interactive skill-building workshop designed to help providers address the psychosocial challenges of diabetes care. Through case-based discussions, participants will explore key obstacles such as disengagement, misinformation, and distress, while practicing practical strategies to foster collaboration and motivation. Attendees will leave with evidence-based psychological and behavioral interventions to strengthen patient engagement and support meaningful behavior change.

1. Identify key psychosocial and behavioral barriers that interfere with diabetes self-care.
2. Recognize signs and clinical implications of diabetes distress in persons with diabetes.
3. Practice behavior change counseling skills that can be applied in routine clinical visits.
4. Develop realistic, patient-centered action plans to support sustainable self-management behaviors.
