Chronic conditions have the potential to impact every aspect of your life. In our workshops, we explore the concept of being a member of your healthcare team (you, your caregivers, loved ones, doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, RMTs, etc.).

You'll learn how to work with this team to develop small, manageable plans to support you to gain control of your chronic condition.

Action planning is a key skill from your self-management toolbox. We practice it every week in our programs because it's so effective at supporting participants on their health journey.

Have you made your action plan for the week? Remember that writing it down or sharing it with friends/family/other participants can ensure you stay focused!

If you've participated in one of our Living a Healthy Life workshops, you'll know how important it is to practice the skills from your self-management toolbox. One of these skills is Understanding Emotions.

When you're living with a chronic health condition or chronic pain, it becomes even more important to learn ways to manage difficult emotions.

In our Living a Healthy Life workshops, participants spend time understanding why difficult emotions come up, and brainstorming tactics to manage these emotions.
