Individuals living with chronic pain symptoms and/or supporting someone with a long-term health condition(s) are invited to join a free virtual workshop designed to help them take control of their health.
“Better Choices, Better Health” is a six-week series of workshops designed to support Albertans living with chronic pain conditions explore ways to manage their health.
Workshops run from 1-3:30 p.m. on six consecutive Wednesdays starting Jan. 29 over Zoom.
You can register by calling toll-free at 1-866-795-9709.
“Better Choices, Better Health” workshop sessions are led by trained volunteer leaders, many of whom live with a chronic pain condition. This approach ensures an understanding of the challenges participants face and provides a supportive and welcoming environment.
Because those living with ongoing health conditions are often faced with the same day-to-day challenges, “Better Choices, Better Health” focuses on teaching tools and techniques common to all chronic pain conditions. Participants will learn:
- Techniques to manage their symptoms.
- Tips for healthy eating and becoming more active.
- Strategies for talking with healthcare teams.
- Methods for dealing with difficult emotions.
- Options for making everyday tasks easier.
- Ways to take care of themselves to enjoy a better quality of life.
