Learn how to self-manage, cope better, and gain self-confidence in your ability to manage any ongoing health problem. This evidence-based workshop was developed by Stanford University. It is designed to help individuals who have an ongoing condition (such as diabetes, lung and/or heart disease, chronic pain, arthritis, depression, high blood pressure, and more) improve their quality of life.
Participants learn to:
- reduce stress and frustration
- manage symptoms
- set weekly goals
- problem-solve effectively
- improve communication
- relax
- handle difficult emotions
- eat well
- exercise safely
Past participants report feeling an increase in their confidence and motivation needed to manage the challenges of living with a chronic health condition. Family members, friends and caregivers can also participate.
We will have workbooks to accompany the class that each participant will be able to use during the workshop. Each session has activities with group discussions and visual charts will be used as well. You will also receive the book “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions” to use during the workshop. At the end of the workshop you can choose to purchase the book.
The free workshop is 6 weeks long and each class is 2 ½ hours long with breaks.
