Take Charge

The Take Charge program is a six-week workshop created to teach people the skills needed to manage the physical and emotional challenges of living with a chronic health condition. The workshop is presented by two trained facilitators and is meant to enhance the regular health care people are receiving.

The workshop helps people to manage:

• symptoms such as pain, fatigue, frustration and fear
• exercise and nutrition
• goal setting, problem solving and communicating needs
• medication and making informed treatment decisions

Classes are held once a week for 2 ½ hours and include 10 to 15 participants with different chronic health problems. People who are caring for people with chronic health conditions are also welcome to attend.

A suggested donation fee of $1 to $35 helps to pay for our costs and provide participants with a reference book and materials.

Our workshops are held downtown at 176 Wyndham Street North.
