Living Well Workshops Offer Help with Managing Chronic Disease Symptoms

If you struggle with ongoing symptoms of chronic disease such as fatigue, pain, stress/anxiety, muscle tension, difficult emotions or shortness of breath, there are new techniques available to help you deal with these symptoms.

Fayette Senior Services is pleased to present Living Well: The Stanford University Chronic Disease Self-management Program, a six-week workshop designed to teach healthy behaviors to live more positively and less painfully with age or chronic diseases such as arthritis, diabetes or high blood pressure.
