Living Well with Chronic Conditions

Wednesdays from 1-3:30 pm
In-Person at East Side Neighborhood Services

This six-week class meets once a week for two and a half hours. Each class includes a new topic designed to help participants dealing with chronic conditions. The class is a combination of presentations, discussion, and activities with others who have similar experiences. Participants make weekly action plans, share experiences, and help each other solve problems they encounter in creating and carrying out their plan. You will learn about:

  • Dealing with frustration, fatigue, pain, and isolation

  • Exercises for improving strength, flexibility, and endurance

  • Use of medications

  • Communicating effectively with family, friends, and health professionals

  • Nutrition

  • How to evaluate new treatments
