The York County Area Agency on Aging will offer a Chronic Pain Self-Management Program. The workshops are open to adults age 60 and older who are living with chronic pain as well as caregivers age 60 and older who are caring for someone living with chronic pain.
Developed by the Self-Management Resource Center, formerly Stanford University Patient Education Program, this health promotion program provides tools for managing health, dealing with difficult emotions, and living a better life with chronic pain. The program introduces participants to self-management tools like healthy eating, exercise, action planning and dealing with difficult emotions.
These free workshops will be held virtually from 9 to 11:30 a.m. on Thursdays, Sept. 17 through Oct. 22. Participants must have internet access and a computer to participate.
There is no charge for the workshops. A companion book, "Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Pain," and an exercise CD will be provided for all participants. Preregistration is required by calling Megan Craley at 717-771-9610.
