Norwegian term or phrase: mestringstilbud
From a report about healthy living:

"Vi vil fortsette å satse på frisklivstilbud og lærings- og mestringstilbud i kommunene"

My dictionary isn't proving very useful unfortunately.

Thanks in advance.

(educational) support groups


Explanation:
I would be inclined to translate lærings- og mestringstilbud here as(educational) support groups.
Health promotion is perhaps another alternative.
I have seen lærings- og mestringstilbud and Lærings- og mestringssenter translated as learning and mastery courses and The Coping and Learning Centre (CLC) respectively, but I think these are very literal translations.

Example sentence(s):
  • AAFA has Educational Support Groups (ESGs) all across the country to help you gather relevant information about asthma and allergies and offer emotional support.

coping support


Explanation:
I think I would write something along the lines of ...provide education and coping support..
I like to get coping in there as "mestring" is all about coping skills. The support may or may not take the form of support group; it may also be education and support provided by community based nurses, councellors or similar.

Here's a link to my google search to show it is a relatively common way to phrase it: https://www.google.ie/?gws_rd=cr&ei=WklMUqb6NMuR7Ab_qIHQBQ#q...
