Are you an adult age 55 or older with an ongoing health condition? Then our new Live Well Workshop is right for you, no matter what that condition is! Designed for people living with, or caring for someone with, chronic conditions, Live Well will help you take charge and manage your life to live it WELL. Download our Live Well Brochure (pdf)

In the Live Well workshop you’ll get the support you need, find practical ways to deal with pain and fatigue, discover better nutrition and exercise choices, understand new treatment choices, and learn better ways to talk with you doctor and family about your health. If you have, or care for someone with, conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart disease, chronic pain, anxiety, Live Well can help you take charge of you life.

Taught by specially trained leaders, some who have health conditions themselves, Live Well meets for six weekly sessions, covers a new topic each week and provides opportunities for interaction and group problem solving. “We are more like coaches,” says Monica Wheeler, Community Health Director at WWHD, and trained leader of the Live Well Program. “The answer to someone’s question is usually in the room.”

A Live Well Workshop will be offered at the Westport Center for Senior Activities on six consecutive Mondays, from July 19 to Aug. 23, from 1 – 3:30 p.m. Spaces are limited! Call Monica Wheeler, RN at the health district at 203-227-9571, ext. 242, for additional information or to register. Also, you may register at the Westport Center for Senior Activities for this workshop.
