In partnership with the New River Valley Agency on Aging and Live Well, Virginia, Christiansburg Parks and Recreation is offering a free, six-week workshop on chronic disease self-management. The workshop begins on Oct. 16, and the first class will be held from 1-3:30 p.m.
The workshop is designed both for people living with a chronic disease and caregivers.
Participants will learn a variety of self-management skills. The workshop covers topics such as healthy eating, effective communication and problem solving. Attendees will receive a free “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions” workbook and a “Relaxation for Body and Mind” CD.
The workshop will be held in the Christiansburg Recreation Center’s senior activities room at 1600 North Franklin St. To find out more or to register for the workshop, contact Tina King at (540) 980-7720 or tinaking@nrvaoa.org.
