Reclaim Your Life & Living Better With Chronic Conditions

TWO FRIENDLY, FREE COURSES ALL ABOUT HELPING YOU MANAGE AND LIVE WELL WITH LONG-TERM PHYSICAL HEALTH CONDITIONS

Reclaim Your Life

A FIVE-WEEK COURSE FOR PEOPLE WITH LONG-TERM PHYSICAL HEALTH DIFFICULTIES.

Your life is more important than your illness. Would you like it back? This five-week course will help you reclaim your life from long-term physical symptoms. At base, it is all about understanding one truth: you are bigger than your problems. Those problems shouldn’t stop you doing things, experiencing things, loving, laughing, tasting and living life.

Reclaim Your Life will teach you to make changes to the way you think and act, creating a new relationship between you and your illness – one that helps separate who you are from what you’ve got. At each of the five sessions, you will learn new ways to respond when you are feeling ground down, frustrated or hopeless, and you will learn new skills that will help you tackle problems in your life.

Living Better With Chronic Conditions

THREE FOCUSED SESSIONS TO HELP YOU KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

Chronic Pain: This session explains what chronic pain is, what influences it, and how you can help manage its impact on your life.

Building Healthy Foundations: Helps you to think more about your activity levels, with guidance to improve your own health and wellbeing. The focus is on small, realistic ways you can live better with your condition.

Sleep: A supportive educational session exploring the link between physical health and sleep, with practical, evidence-based strategies to improve sleep. It covers how pain, fatigue, stress and medication can affect sleep, and gives you simple techniques to help restore healthier sleep patterns.
