Healthy Living are 6-week workshops proven to improve health and well-being for people living with long-term/chronic health conditions. You set your own goals, your own priorities, and follow your own timeline week-by-week to find what steps work best for you. Three effective, evidence-based programs developed by the Self-Management Resource Center are offered:
- Healthy Living with Chronic Pain (phone discussion group) to help alleviate the impact of chronic pain on each day (phone discussion group).
- Healthy Living with Chronic Conditions (workshop in Eaton) to help alleviate the impact of chronic pain on each day (phone discussion group).
- Healthy Living with Chronic Conditions (phone discussion group) to help alleviate the impact of chronic pain on each day (phone discussion group).
