LIVE WELL WORKSHOPS to Better Self-Manage the Problems Associated with Chronic Conditions

Brookfield Senior Center in collaboration with facilitators from Bethel Health Care will offer the WCAAA's successful FREE workshop series entitled, "LIVE WELL," a workshop for people with on-going health problems.  The first session of the six week series begins on Wednesday, September 19, and will run through October 24, at the Brookfield Senior Center.

The workshop is designed for people, their families and caregivers who have chronic illness and the problems that so often plague them.  Chronic illness such as high blood pressure, lung disease, diabetes, arthritis and so many more have the asociated problems of fatigue, pain, stress, anxiety, and depression in common.  The LIVE WELL workshops help people become better self-managers of the problems that result from these illnesses.

After attending the workshops, many people feel as though they have a new lease on life.  Attendees learn to set attainable goals, gain confidence as a better self-managers and gain tips and support from others who are experiencing similar problems.

The workshop meets once per week for six weeks.  Each session lasts two and one half hours.  Trained workshop facilitators from Bethel Health Care have understanding, compasion, and insight since they themselves are dealing with an ongoing health condition and have learned successful techniques for coping with problems through taking the workshops.

Seating is limited.  Call for a reservation for the FREE informative workshop series.  Contact Ellen Melville, Director, Brookfield Senior Center at 203-775-5308 or e-mail emelville@brookfieldct.org.
