BriefDescription: Living Healthy is a highly participatory workshop that takes place once a week for six weeks.
Each 2 ½ hour session of the 6-week workshop is facilitated by 2 trained leaders. Subjects covered throughout the workshop include: (1) techniques to deal with problems such as frustration, fatigue, pain and isolation, (2) appropriate use of medications, (3) communicating effectively with friends, family, and health care providers, (4) appropriate exercise, (5) nutrition, and (6) making informed treatment decisions.


AdditionalInformation: The North Carolina Division of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) and the Division of Public Health (DPH) are mobilizing a statewide campaign to implement and sustain the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP), an evidence-based program developed by researchers at Stanford University. The ultimate goal of implementing Living Healthy (i.e. CDSMP) is to reduce the risk and occurrence of disease and disability among the rapidly increasing number of adults 60 and older.
