Living Well With Chronic Conditions In-Person WorkshopsLocations
These six-week in-person, group workshops help people learn how to manage their chronic conditions and improve their quality of life. Participants learn to improve their health one step at a time by setting goals and then breaking the goals into small steps, week by week. Workshop participants support each other and work together to solve their problems. Also see: Online workshops Two specially trained volunteers lead the workshops, at least one of whom has a chronic condition. Participants are encouraged to attend these workshops with a partner or caregiver. RegistrationRegister for an in-person workshop. There is no charge for the workshop, but we ask each person or family to pay what they can toward the cost of the reference book. (Only one copy per family is needed.) Financial assistance for the book is available on request. Note: Occasionally a workshop needs to be rescheduled.
