People with disabilities experience greater health disparities than people without disabilities. The Healthy Lifestyles Program (HL) is an evidenced based program that offers young adults with I/DD the opportunity to learn about, explore, and experience healthy behaviors in order to live healthier lives. The HL's Program, Your Health, Your Choice for Young Adults with I/DD is a successful health promotion program that was adopted by, and is currently implemented in, several prominent I/DD service providers in Oregon. These agencies have taken the lead in Oregon to ensure the people they serve have the education and resources to make healthy choices. OBJECTIVES: 1) Discuss the importance of taking a holistic approach to health, i.e., the 5 components of a healthy lifestyles (social health, physical health, emotional health, health through meaningful activities, and spiritual health); 2) Learn strategies for engaging young adults with I/DD in a peer-facilitated and accessible health promotion intervention; and 3) Understand the benefits of offering a Healthy Lifestyles program within community-based residential or vocational settings.
