This is the Spanish version of the Living Well with Chronic Conditions workshop. Subjects covered are similar to the English version, but they are presented in ways that are culturally appropriate. All workshops are given in Spanish without translators.
Spanish-speaking people with different chronic health problems attend together. Workshops are facilitated by two trained leaders, one or both of whom are living with a chronic disease themselves. Classes are held once a week for six weeks, with each class lasting two and a half hours.
Each participant in the workshop receives a copy of the companion book, Tomando Control de su Salud: Una guía para el manejo de las infermedades del corazón, diabetes, asma, bronquitis, enfisema y otros problemas crónicos, an audio relaxation tape, Casete de Relajación, and an audio exercise tape with booklet, ¡Hagamos ejercicio! All materials are in Spanish.
At this time there are no upcoming workshops scheduled for 2010. If you are interested in either attending or teaching one of these classes, please contact Brenda Johnson at 541-322-7430 or brenda_johnson@co.deschutes.or.us
