DESCRIPTION:KNOWLEDGE  +  SKILLS  +  CONFIDENCE!\nFree 6-session workshop for Adults with chronic conditions!\nFor many people, coping with a chronic health condition can be extremely trying. Fatigue, pain, breathing difficulties, sleeping problems, loss of energy, depression and anxiety about the future are common.
