Participants may have a chronic condition themselves or may have a close friend or family member with one. It is helpful to include an example of how the workshop relates to you personally or provide the testimonial of a former participant. Two examples: I know first-hand how chronic conditions affect a person s life. Recently my husband was diagnosed with hypertension. He is now taking medication and needs to change his eating habits, which directly affects me since I m the cook. I also worry about him and what problems we could face if he doesn t get his blood pressure under control. Betty, a participant in one of our recent workshops experienced a lot of pain and fatigue due to her condition and wanted to learn about some ways that she could deal with those symptoms. Transition: We can t change the fact that we or our loved one have been diagnosed with a chronic condition, but we can change the way we manage the problems associated with it, that is where this workshop can help.
