Introduction to self-management
In conjunction with the Capital Health Network we are pleased to offer an introductory course to self-help for those living with Long COVID. Run over 4 weeks this program will assist you and your loved ones to understand some of the concepts of self-help that people who have long lasting chronic conditions employ to help make life easier.
If you love this course and would like to take a ‘deeper dive’ into the science and practice of self-help, we also offer a longer form course over 9 weeks which is run on a term basis (think school terms).
