DAYTON — Healthy U will be offering a free six-week workshop for adults living with chronic conditions.

• Healthy U At Home Phone Workshop – Chronic Diseases begins Jan. 25 taking place Tuesdays from 3 to 4 p.m.

• Healthy U At Home Phone Workshop – Diabetes begins on Jan. 26 taking place Wednesdays from 3 to4 p.m.

The workshop is open to adults of any age living with a chronic health condition and/or their caregivers. The deadline registration for all workshops is Jan. 13.

Healthy U is an evidence-based, interactive, small group workshop proven to improve quality of life and reduce health care expenses by increasing self-confidence and providing new skills to better manage symptoms and feel healthier. Instead of focusing on any one disease, participants explore new ways to address challenges common to anyone with a long-term health concern.

The program focuses on common problems like chronic pain, nutrition, exercise, medication use, emotions, and communicating with doctors and family. Participants develop skills and coping strategies to manage symptoms through setting achievable goals, problem-solving, decision-making, social support, and more.
