“Healthier Living” is an awesome 6 week chronic disease self management program developed at Stanford University. The program is designed to help with the challenges that come with living with an ongoing health condition.
The class will run weekly starting Tuesday, April 6 from 1-3pm and will be taught by trained leaders, Katy Deschler and Tracy Reuther.
 Chronic conditions are diseases that cannot be cured. Participants in the classes have ranged in age from 40 to 89 and have grappled with emphysema, chronic bronchitis, heart problems, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes and back pain.
Other examples of chronic illnesses are Lupus, Crohn’s disease, long-term depression, obesity and phobias.
This course series will teach skills that can help with coping with fatigue, frustration, pain and stress. It is also recommended for family, friends and caregivers. Included with the course is the companion book, Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions. It will be taught at the Senior Center, located in the Community Center.
There is no charge for the class or materials. This is a really great course.
