Registration has begun for a free, six-week, evidence-based Live Well with Chronic Conditions workshop for adults with ongoing health conditions such as arthritis, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes or any other chronic issues. During this program, participants learn better ways to manage recurring challenges such as pain, fatigue, difficult emotions, anxiety and stress.



This workshop takes place at the Litchfield Community Center, 421 Bantam Road, on Thursdays, April 3 until May 5 from 11am to 1pm. Two trained Live Well leaders from the Torrington Area Health District will facilitate this free, interactive program. Participants will learn about healthy eating, physical activity and exercise, dealing with difficult emotions, decision-making, communication skills, working with healthcare providers and action planning. Materials will be provided to participants, and those who complete the workshop will get the book Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions and a relaxation CD.



Class size is limited to 12 participants, and pre-registration is required. To register, call 860-567-8302 or email info@thecommunitycenter.org.



Live Well is sponsored by The Western Connecticut Area Agency on Aging through a grant from the State Bureau on Aging. Live Well is an evidence-based self-management program developed at Stanford University.
