BMH HEALTHIER LIVING WORKSHOPS

Brattleboro Memorial Hospital offers these free (to Vermont residents) 6-week workshops designed to help you enjoy a healthier, happier life. Based on the Stanford University School of Medicine model, these sessions can help you feel healthier even if you have a chronic condition, or live with someone who does. Useful tools, skills, and fun activities to address living with arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, chronic pain, emphysema, fibromyalgia, and any other long-term condition will be offered to help improve your life. Following are things you will learn:

• Exercises to maintain and improve strength, flexibility, and endurance

• Using breathing and imagery to manage symptoms

• Tips for healthy eating

• How to talk with family, friends, and health professionals so you are heard

• How to evaluate new health treatments

• Goal setting and problem-solving tips

Currently scheduled dates for Healthier Living Workshops in 2008 are:

Wednesdays, May 14 – June 18, 10:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

These sessions will be held in Brew Barry Conference Center, unless
