The Niagara County Department of Health, in partnership with the Niagara County Office for the Aging, is offering a free chronic pain self-management workshop from 9:30 a.m. to noon Mondays, March 23 through April 27, at Lockport Memorial Hospital, 6001 Shimer Drive.
This program covers both the physical and emotional aspects of managing chronic pain and is designed to provide participants with the skills to manage their pain on a day-to-day basis. Workshop topics include exercise, healthy eating, pain management, as well as how to deal with such concerns as fatigue, sleep problems, difficult emotions, weight loss, communicating with family, friends and coworkers. The workshop is highly participatory, and each participant is guided to tailor the workshop content to their own needs.
Individuals with chronic pain or caregivers of persons with chronic pain can register for the chronic pain self-management workshop program by calling Stacy Knott, M.S.Ed., nursing operations manager, at 716-278-8596.
For information on how participating in the workshops can help you manage your pain, visit www.niagaracounty.gov/ChronicPain.
Additionally, we encourage employers and community groups to contact the NCDOH nursing division at 716-278-1900 if they would like to offer one of our chronic pain, diabetes, or chronic disease self-management workshops to their employees or clients.
