Are you struggling with a chronic condition and have problems managing your health? Do you have a friend or family member with a chronic condition and would like to learn ways to help ease their frustration?
Better Choices, Better Health is a six-week group education workshop that teaches you the skills you need to manage your symptoms and take control of your health. The program was developed by researchers at the Patient Education Research Center at Stanford University to help people with chronic conditions gain self-confidence in their ability to manage their own health.
