Free Maximize Your Health workshops offered to aid those with chronic conditions 15 The IFP · Halton Hills, Thursday, January 19, 2012 Many people live with one or more chronic conditions. Having a long-lasting health condition can impact a person's physical, mental and emotional health and can compromise a person's ability to carry on with routines or take part in activities. The good news is that patients with one or more chronic conditions can maximize their health by learning positive self-management skills. A six-week self management workshop, Maximize Your Health, is being offered this winter by the Mississauga Halton Self Management program. It is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care and is based on self-management principles developed by Stanford University. Workshop participants learn about: setting achievable goals, overcoming barriers, thinking positively, general nutrition, communication with healthcare professionals, managing symptoms and more! Participants meet for six weeks, once a week for 2.5 hours and receive a resource book to use at home. Free programs will be held locally: · Georgetown-- Jan. 25 to Feb. 29 · Milton Seniors Centre-- Feb. 1 to March 7 · Georgetown-- Feb. 22 to March 28 This program is for people who live with a lifelong health condition like diabetes, lung or heart disease, arthritis, have a mental health diagnosis, or any other condition. Spouses and caregivers are also welcome. "The workshop helped me realize that I am not alone-- that there are many others in the same situation with similar issues," notes a program graduate. "By the end of the workshop I felt I had developed the coping skills I needed, and I was able to make positive changes in my life."
