Sponsored by Age Options:
The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program: Take Charge of your health is built on the understanding that people with chronic conditions must deal not only with their disease(s), but also with the impact on their lives and emotions.
These workshops are for persons who suffer from chronic diseases including obesity and their caregivers. The workshops are open to any adult or person caring for an adult with conditions such as:
- Hypertenstion
- Arthritis
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- and many more
Family members, friends and caregivers can participate in these workshops to improve their knowledge and provide additional support to the persons they are caring for.
The workshops will provide information and practical skills to help them improve their ability to manage their chronic health problem(s). Training includes teaching participants coping strategies such as, action planning, behavior modeling, problem solving and decision making. These skills are applied to areas such as healthy eating, exercise and communication with health providers.
