Put some LIFE back into your LIFE!
Do you, or someone you care for, have an on-going health problem such as diabetes, asthma, respiratory disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, being overweight, at risk of diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, depression, anxiety, arthritis and many others?
Find out what you can do to keep yourself or your loved ones well by coming along to ProCare's LIFE programme. Recommended by doctors and led by health professionals and peer leaders, this is one of the most useful and practical courses you can attend.
Participants meet for 2.5 hours per week for six weeks. Programmes are held in the community in community centres, marae, churches, libraries and hospitals.
LIFE topics include:
• Working with you doctor and other health professionals
• Medication “ how to’s”
• Keeping active to regain strength and energy
• Relaxation techniques
• Dealing with negative emotions
• Managing your symptoms
• Improving communications with family, friends and others
• Tips for eating well
• Turn your dreams into reality through personal goal setting
• Dealing with life’s ups and downs through an evidence-based technique called problem-solving
Diabetes focused courses teach you specific advice about how to better manage your condition, life style choices and medications.
MHOL "My Health Our Lives" courses are similar to LIFE courses and include information about how your wider family can support you.
Results:
Attendees have reported great feedback and results to us after completing our courses. Like Shane, who told us:
"I wish to express to you my most heartfelt sincerity in what this Life Management course has meant to me. I had reach a point in my life where I was searching for ways to get help with my Chronic Depression Disorder. It was suggested to me by one of my health providers that I might want to explore the opportunity of being involved with other folks of like mind, where I could safely share my anxieties and experiences. The Life course has helped me recognize my symptoms more strongly, and the many ways of using new found skills in coping with them. Since being on this course I have a much improved outlook on life and in recognizing that that I am not left alone to fight my demons.
The sessions have always been conducted in a positive,caring, empathetic and loving manner and I think more courses of this nature would be beneficial to help more of those who are going through their 'tough times'.
They are structured,constructive meetings and allow you to address your own deservedness in a loving and caring environment, where we are also encouraged and guided in helping ourselves with our own issues, and never criticized.
As a result, this course has been the catalyst of the return to a more knowledgeable continuation of my interrupted life, the progression towards normality and a better understanding of my illness and coping with it. I could not have done this without you... providing strength, for my forward journeys in working toward a full recovery. There should be more courses like this made available to anyone that needs support and guidance, in coping with their life's problems.
