The Challenging Your Condition Course is a supportive group where everyone shares helpful tips and experiences.  The course leaders have a Long Term Condition themselves and understand the difficulties participants face.  They refuse to let symptoms take control of their lives and can support you to manage yours.  The emphasis is on learning what you can do for yourself and how to make the most of the information you get from doctors, nurses and other health care workers.  Its for people living with a Chronic Long Term Condition ( Epilepsy, MS, Parkinson’s, arthritis etc)  even if newly diagnosed.

 

CHALLENGING PAIN (TWO 3HR SESSIONS)

The two week programme called Challenging Pain is specifically for those people who are living with long-term chronic pain, as a result of their long term condition.  This two week programme deals specifically with the problems people face when living with chronic pain on a daily basis.  The course provides new ideas and skills to help manage pain more effectively.
