The Living Well with Chronic Pain workshop is designed specifically for people who experience chronic or ongoing pain, are often exhausted from the pain, low energy, and feel isolated with a lack of control. This class provides tools, information, and strategies to help those with pain or a chronic condition cope with daily struggles. Mutual support in a caring and trusting environment builds the participants’ confidence in their ability to manage their health and maintain active and fulfilling lives.
Participants learn to reduce stress and frustration, manage symptoms, set weekly goals, problem-solve effectively, improve communication, relax, handle difficult emotions, eat well, and exercise safely. Past participants report feeling an increase in their confidence, and the motivation needed to manage the challenges of living with a chronic health condition. Family members, friends, and caregivers may also participate.
- You will also receive the book “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Pain” to use during the workshop. At the end of the workshop, you may purchase the book if you choose.
