Put Life Back in Your Life
Live Well™ is a self-management program available in Sun Country Health Region for people who are living with or caring for someone with a chronic illness, including but not limited to diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, chronic pain, kidney disease, stroke, asthma and depression.
This community-based program is led by trained peer leaders, many who have chronic conditions themselves and can model healthy lifestyle choices.
Topics covered in the program include effective communication strategies for loved ones and health professionals, dealing with difficult emotions, goal setting and action plans, medications, nutrition and physical activity.
Since SCHR started offering the Live Well™ program in 2008, our team of Peer Leaders have offered 15 sessions to 125 participants across eight different communities. The free of charge, six-week program was offered this fall in Kipling, Weyburn and Carlyle.
Keep your eyes peeled for the Saskatchewan government’s bright green and orange posters and brochures. If you are interested in learning more about the program, becoming a Peer Leader or to register for future sessions please contact (306) 842-8711.
