TOWNSHEND–Grace Cottage Hospital will host a self-management workshop for those living with diabetes and for their caregivers on Tuesday mornings, Oct. 14-Nov. 18., from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
The “Healthier Living with Diabetes” workshop is offered to the public free of charge, and is a collaboration between Grace Cottage, Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, and the Vermont Department of Health.
Diabetes doesn’t have to control one’s life! This workshop will teach participants how to take control of the disease, how to stay optimistic while dealing with associated emotions, and how to make better food and exercise choices. Also included will be tips for communicating about the disease with family members, friends, and medical providers.
Each participant will receive a free book. Please pre-register for the workshop so that enough books will be available. Call Terri Kneipp at 802-257-8867 or email her at tkneipp@bmhvt.org.
