Workshop Details

Better Choices, Better Health® workshops will be held as listed on the available tickets above.

BCBH, an extension of Stanford University’s Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, is designed for those with chronic conditions that may include, but are not limited to: arthritis, heart problems, diabetes, depression, cancer, high blood pressure, breathing problems, chronic pain, anxiety, weight issues and fibromyalgia.

“Living with a chronic condition can be difficult. A few goals of this program are to help individuals manage the impact of their disease, improve their confidence, and encourage behaviors that positively affect their health. We welcome all interested adults to take charge and live healthy,” said Lori Oster, Better Choices, Better Health®; Program Coordinator.

Stanford University’s research has demonstrated that participants who complete the program have experienced better overall health, have more energy and less fatigue, have fewer visits to the doctor and have reduced disabilities and distress about their health.

Over 20 professionals, volunteers and community members have recently completed training provided by Stanford to offer workshops across the state.
