Participants attend a workshop once a week for 6 weeks to learn problem-solving, decision-making, and other techniques for managing problems common to people with chronic diseases. These workshops are offered virtually on Zoom and facilitated by 2 trained leaders. In a typical workshop, participants set a realistic goal for the upcoming week and develop and action plan for meeting that goal. They report on their progress at the following workshop and ask for feedback from the group to help address any challenges. What do I need to participate? To participate in the program, you will need to register online. We will provide you with a Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions program book. You will also need to be available to participate in the 6 weeks of sessions to complete the program. All participants will be asked to complete surveys before starting the program and then again after completing the program to help evaluate the program.
