Chronic disease self-management programs can help older adults gain control of their symptoms and live their daily lives.
This workshop is an interactive program for those living with one or more physical or mental health chronic conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, depression, etc. Participants learn skills to manage their conditions on a day to day basis: exercise, healthy eating, symptom management (pain, fatigue, sleep, shortness of breath, stress and depression), weight loss, and communication skills. Core self-management skills taught include action planning, problem solving and decision making.
This is a six-week workshop with sessions March 1, 8, 22, 29, April 5 and 12. Your weekly attendance is expected.
This workshop is sponsored by Franklin County Area Agency on Aging at no cost to you except your time and is open to any Franklin County resident age 60 years or older.
