Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions is a six-week, self-management workshop based on the Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, which was developed and tested by Stanford University. The workshop meets for 2 ½ hours per week for 6 weeks.  The workshop is not disease-specific and is designed to help participants build confidence in their ability to manage their health and maintain active and fulfilling lives. 

The Living a Healthy Life with a Chronic Condition workshop focuses on self-care, learning new coping strategies for dealing with frustration, fatigue, depression and pain, and sharing experiences with other group members. It doesn’t replace or conflict with existing programs of treatment; it enhances them and increases their effectiveness.

The workshops are designed to introduce skills needed for day-to-day management of chronic disease, with tips for goal setting, problem solving and communicating with family and health care professionals.  Participants report improved symptom management and the adoption of a healthier lifestyle.
