"ROW YOUR OWN BOAT"

Learn techniques for taking control of your health!

The weekly six-session interactive workshop helps people who have significant health conditions learn how to take control of their health. The sessions deal with the issues that everyone living with an ongoing (chronic) health condition faces. Each session lasts two and one-half hours. We encourage you to bring a family member or support person to all sessions. You will learn how to accomplish the following:

  • Manage medications

  • Deal with depressionPhoto of man being applauded for good self management

  • Eat wisely and well

  •  Control pain

  • Set and meet your goals

  • Fight fatigue and frustration

  • Start an appropriate exercise program

  • Manage stress and relax

  • Communication with Health Care Providers, Family and Friends

  • Solve problems

     

    Living Well With Chronic Health Problems can help you develop the skills needed to take control of your health condition and live a happier and healthier life. Stanford University developed the Chronic Disease Self-management Program (CDSMP).

    This program is now available in Southern Oregon (Jackson, Klamath and Josephine counties). It is designed to enhance medical treatment and deal with the issues that everyone living with an ongoing health condition faces. We now have certified workshop leaders (click HERE to see pictures) available to guide you through this Stanford University developed education program.
