Creating a Healthier Maine: Healthy Living for ME’s Evidence-Based Programs
Healthy Living for ME is the Maine core of evidence-based health management programs. We are a network of local providers and partnerships committed to the health and quality of life of all Mainers.
Evidence-based programs are proven to promote health and prevent disease among adults with chronic health conditions. Healthy Living for ME programs have been developed using rigorous research and demonstrate reliable and consistently positive changes in important health-related outcomes among participants.
Aging is inevitable, falling is not. Many adults can benefit from learning low-impact exercise to improve balance and strategies to increase confidence and reduce their fear of falling. Healthy Living for ME delivers evidence-based workshops that have been proven to help older adults reduce their risk of falling.

Find Workshops to Take Action
Taking care of a person with a dementing illness is specialized work. To do this work successfully, caregivers need special skills and knowledge. They also need an outlook or attitude that helps them to look after themselves. People providing care for a person with dementia are faced with an enormous amount of responsibility and work. Often there are no others there to help and caregivers have little time to take care of their own needs.
