Pilot
Community participants will participate in a group-based lifestyle intervention based on the CDC Diabetes Prevention Program, and adapted to the Arabic language, Arab culture, Mediterranean Diet, and adapted to include empowerment, leadership and emotion regulation.
based on randomization, group that will be assigned to CBLI+RT will receive the CBLI curriculum (as described in the intervention-HPP arm) in addition to the resiliency training
The attention control group will receive the core curriculum of the CBLI (as described in the intervention-HPP arm) only without the resiliency training. The sessions of the resiliency training will be replaced with sessions on health topics that do not contribute to our outcome (increased resiliency) (i.e. breast cancer, osteoporosis)
This group will not be randomized. The group will receive the CBLI content (as described in the intervention-HPP arm) in addition to the resiliency training. The aim of this pilot is to create a resiliency training manual to be implemented in the following groups that will be assigned to receive the CBLI+RT
