Program Promotion

Can we still refer to the workshops as “Stanford” programs?

What words can we use to describe the workshops?

  • The only words you can use when describing the programs are “an evidence-based self-management program originally developed at Stanford University”, or “an SMRC evidence-based program originally developed at Stanford University.”
  • Certificates of completion for workshops and Leader trainings should use the above language, as well.

Can we use the SMRC logo and Steps to Healthier Living trademark?
