Self-management Courses
New Self Management Courses for 2010
Arthritis Queensland is launching 2 new condition-specific self-management courses, a new 2 week Challenging Pain workshop, in addition to our existing self management courses. The self management courses Arthritis Queensland is now offering are:
- Osteoarthritis of the Knee (OAK)
- Rheumatoid/Inflammatory Arthritis (RA-P)
- Arthritis Self-Management Course
- Challenging Pain Workshop
Self-management courses are designed to give the skills to lead active and satisfying lives, in spite of having arthritis or other long-term health conditions.
These conditions can lead to symptoms such as pain, fatigue, depression, frustration and decreased fitness, making life seem an uphill battle.
At the self-management courses you will learn:
- Information on your condition
- How to manage your symptoms.
- How to lessen your frustration.
- How to fight fatigue.
- How to make daily tasks easier.
- How to enhance relationships with family, friends and health professionals.
- How to get more out of life!
For more information on any of these courses, please contact Arthritis Queensland on 1800 011 041, or email us. You can view the dates for the Self-management courses here.
