Coping with a chronic health condition can be very trying, and ongoing adjustments in one’s daily living are often required. While we may know things we ‘should’ be doing to better manage our health, we don’t always know ‘how to’ make those changes and can find it hard to stay motivated.
“Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions” is a FREE six-week workshop (2 ½ hrs/week) providing information to help cope with daily physical and emotional challenges that are often experienced as a result of living with chronic conditions. Practical strategies are shared to help get started in making changes that will lead to better health – tools people can use to help themselves. Participants can also expect to gain increased confidence and the motivation to keep going when difficulties arise.
Adults of all ages experiencing any ongoing or recurrent health issues are welcome to attend, as are family members, friends and caregivers. There is no cost to attend, and participants also receive a free copy of the excellent reference book. Workshops are now available in Chronic Disease Self-Management, Chronic Pain Self-Management, and Diabetes Self-Management.
This program is implemented by the University of Victoria - Centre on Aging, with resources from the BC Ministry of Health Services. Visit our website at www.coag.uvic.ca/cdsmp or call Carol Sicoli, Coordinator, (604) 940-3568. To register, call our toll free line 1-866-902-3767.
