This workshop series is 2.5 hours long, held once a week for six weeks. The program was developed by Stanford University and has been proven to help improve the health of people with chronic conditions by teaching them to be self-managers. Participants learn from trained volunteer leaders with health conditions themselves about how to manage symptoms and medication, work with their health care team, set weekly goals, problem-solve effectively, improve communication, relax, handle difficult emotions, eat well, and exercise safely. Ongoing health conditions include diabetes, arthritis, HIV/AIDS, asthma, depression, cancer, heart disease, chronic pain, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia, among others.
