Start a Learning Circle in your hospital or community today.
Bring patients, clients, or friends together to share support, practical ideas, and encouragement while learning evidence-based strategies for an Anticancer lifestyle. Build healthier habits that reduce inflammation, boost immunity, and improve overall well-being.
What is a Learning Circle?
People learn better when they learn together. They have more fun, too! That’s why we created our Learning Circles, where participants can gather in person or online to share ideas, encouragement, and support as they learn to create their Anticancer lifestyle.
Learning Circles are organized around the 9-hour, self-paced Anticancer Lifestyle Program (ACLP) free online course, divided into five modules: Change, Diet, Mindset, Fitness, and Environment.
Exciting News! Learning Circles can also be incorporated into insurance-reimbursed Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) or Group Behavioral Health Interventions. This makes it easier for healthcare providers to support their patients in creating healthy, sustainable lifestyle changes. See the Learning Circle Organizer’s Manual and Guide to Insurance-Reimbursed Group Visits below to learn more!
Who can organize a Learning Circle?
Whether you’re a medical provider, health coach, member of a cancer support group, or just interested in a healthier lifestyle, you can organize and facilitate a Learning Circle. We provide a comprehensive manual with detailed session plans, engagement strategies, and resources to create an educational yet nurturing environment. All you have to do is bring people together!
Medical providers: please note that Learning Circles have been successfully incorporated into insurance-reimbursed Shared Medical Visits. Learn more from our guide here.
Can Learning Circles be reimbursed by insurance?
Yes! Learning Circles can be integrated into healthcare settings and may qualify for insurance reimbursement when used as part of Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) or Behavioral Health Group Interventions.
To learn more about eligibility and reimbursement options, consult the Guide to Insurance-Reimbursed Shared Medical Appointments and our comprehensive Learning Circle Organizer’s Manual.
