Living with an ongoing health condition—like arthritis, heart disease, chronic fatigue, or fibromyalgia—can be exhausting. This free, 6-week virtual workshop is designed to help you take back control of your daily life and break the cycle of pain, stress, and fatigue.
What to Expect: This is not a medical lecture. It is a highly interactive, peer-led workshop where you will connect with others who truly understand what you are going through. Over 6 weeks, we will focus on practical, daily skills to help you feel better:

Pacing & Energy: Managing fatigue and avoiding the “boom and bust” cycle.

Symptom Management: Dealing with pain, frustration, and poor sleep.

Communication: Getting the most out of your healthcare appointments and talking to your family.

Action Planning: Setting small, achievable weekly goals to improve your quality of life.

The Perks of Joining: Because this NorWest CHC program is fully funded, it is 100% free to attend. Plus, as a thank you for investing in your health, you will receive:

A free copy of the reference book, “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions.”

A $25 grocery gift card upon completing the 6-week series to help you stock up on healthy essentials!

Family members and caregivers are highly encouraged to register and attend alongside you.
