Spilyay Tymoo, W3rro Springs, Oregon August 16, 2 0 0 7 Workshop helps those with chronic pain Page 7 Howlak Tichum B y L eslie M itts , Spilyay Tymoo Jo sep h E d Sco n aw ah II Those with chronic condi tions can learn to cope through 1 a new w orkshop in Warm Springs. Three trained leaders will be teaching the workshop, entitled ‘‘Living Well with Chronic Con- cfittons.”^ P inky Beym er, M aria Godines and Johanna Fickett all underwent training in Bend in order to teach the workshop. As part of the requirement, at least one of the lèaders must suffer from a chronic condition. The six-week workshop will focus on teaching practical skills for living â healthy life with an ongoing health condition. It’s not just for those with the disease, either. The workshop is open to 'anyone caring for someone with a chronic condi tion as well. * For Fickett, a public health nurse, teaching the class is part of a personal interest in devel oping preventative care, she said. While the Diabetes Program features the similar Lifestyle Balance Program, Fickett said, the workshop will differ slightly. “This program is different because it’s a self-management prografti,”'she said. While the Lifestyle Balance Program teaches those suffering from diabetes how-to live with the Condition, she said, the workshop involves problem solving and teaches participants how to enhance their lives through management of their diseases. . “ It’s a way o f developing skills to cope and live a better life,” Fickett said. In Pickett’s opinion, one of the main benefits of the work shop is to: teach people to think in alternative ways in terms of helping themselves. It also helps develop coping strategies, she said. According to the promo tional brochure, “Classes are fun and interactive. Participants share their successes and build a common source of support. The workshop builds confi dence for managing health, stay ing active and enjoying life.” The workshop is part of the Chronic Disease and Self-Man agement Program developed and tested at Stanford Univer sity. The program is designed to complement and enhance medi cal treatment and disease man agement.
