Enhancing Wellbeing and Chronic
Health Conditions
One of the most common reactions to
being diagnosed with a chronic illness is a strong desire to return
to “normal,” so you can enjoy the sense of well-being you felt
when your body was healthy. However, returning to “normal” may be
an unrealistic goal if your health condition has no cure. Research
has shown that the stress you have when dealing with a chronic health
condition can affect your immune system and ultimately your overall
body, mind, and spirit. The good news is that we all can learn ways
to better manage our stress and make changes in our lives that will
not only improve our physical health but will also improve our
moods.
11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Native American Community Clinic,
