The Yancey Senior Center invites you to participate in a FREE self-management workshop for people with any type of ongoing health problems. Designed at Stanford University, research studies have shown that the workshop is extremely effective in helping people manage their health. Sessions are highly participative, where mutual support and success build the participant’s confidence in their ability to manage their health and maintain active and fulfilling lives. Participation in all sessions is very important to learn better ways of coping and managing your health by: setting goals that are do-able, working with others, finding support and solutions to problems, making daily tasks easier, relaxing and managing stress and working in partnership with your health care team. The Living Healthy workshop is held for two and a half hours, once a week, for six weeks. The next workshop is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, March 6th, 2013 at 12:00 and it will be held at Hospice of Yancey. Pre-registration is required, therefore to pre-register or for more information, please contact Cindi Renfro at 682-6011 ext. 15 between 7:30am and 3:00 pm, Monday through Thursday.
