Building Bridges to Better Health (CDSM)

Building Bridges to Better Health encourages you or anyone your know living with chronic illness to take control of health and well-being by teaching the skills necessary to maintain and/or increase the activities in life that we most enjoy. Program participants will learn skills to be better able to: * solve problems and meet personal goals * talk to your doctor and make choices * handle stress and relax * eat well to live well and start a personal exercise plan * control pain and use medications effectively * deal with fatigue and frustration * and much more. 6 Week Chronic Disease Self-Management Program: Building Bridges for Better Health is a community program consisting of weekly workshops held over a six-week consecutive period in a community setting. Let's Partner!
