The Living Healthy workshop, developed at Stanford University Patient Education Research Center, is a free six-session health education program for people with any type of ongoing, chronic health problem; it is also appropriate for caregivers.
The workshop will meet every Wednesday for six weeks, beginning April 6, from 9 to 11:30 a.m., at the Adelphi University Campus, in Garden City, at the Social Work building.
Participants will learn to set small achievable goals; problem solving; the benefits of exercise; decision-making strategies; reduction of pain and fatigue; relaxation; nutrition and eating better; to improve communication; positive thinking; and how to work with their healthcare providers. Space is limited and attendees must commit to attend all six sessions.
Location: 1 South Ave., Garden City. To register for the workshop, email social worker Erin Nau at [email protected] or call her at 516-877-4314.
