This exciting, interactive series of evidence-based workshops is for older adults and their caregivers. Each of the six 2 1/2 hour sessions provides information and self-management skills for older adults with a chronic illness and their caregivers. Participants learn how to cope with fatigue, pain, and isolation that may be related to ongoing health conditions; exercises to maintain and improve strength, flexibility and endurance; use of medications; communication with family and friends, and health professionals; good nutrition practices; problem solving, brainstorming and other techniques. Session 1 of the 6 weekly programs designed for senior adults will focus on distraction techniques to manage symptoms. Healthy refreshments will be served.
