If you have conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart disease, chronic pain, anxiety, the Live Well Workshop can help you take charge of your life!
Who should attend this program? People with chronic health conditions, their family members, friends and caregivers!
What is a Live Well Workshop?
The Live Well Workshop is a behavioral and social program designed to help people gain self-confidence in their ability to control their symptoms and how their health problems affect their lives. The workshops are highly interactive focusing on building skills & sharing experiences and support. People with different chronic health problems attend the program together. Workshops were designed and tested at Stanford University and are led by two trained facilitators. The Live Well Workshop will not conflict with your existing programs or treatment. It is designed to enhance regular treatment and disease-specific education such as Better Breathers, cardiac rehabilitation, or diabetes instruction. Many people have more than one chronic condition. The program is especially helpful for these people, as it gives them skills to coordinate all the things needed to manage their health, as well as to help them keep active in their lives.
