LWLTC is a free 6-week course that can help a person to take more control of their health by learning new skills and strategies to manage their condition on a daily basis. The course focuses on what a person can do, rather than what they can’t.  Each session is one day a week and lasts two and a half hours. Refreshments are provided.

Topics covered include:

• Dealing with symptoms like pain and tiredness
• Coping with depression or feeling low
• Relaxation techniques
• Physical activity
• Healthy eating
• Communicating with family, friends and health professionals
• Planning for the future
• Setting realistic goals and pacing yourself

The course is run by two trained tutors who themselves live with long-term conditions. They can give practical advice based on their own life experiences.
