Also offered through COAAA is Healthy U, a free six-week<br />
workshop series that helps individuals self-manage their chronic<br />
conditions. In these workshops, participants learn about<br />
exercise, nutrition, ways to communicate with doctors and<br />
family, and techniques to deal with frustration, fatigue, pain,<br />
and depression. The two-hour sessions are given once a week<br />
over six weeks and are led by two facilitators. Attendance is<br />
required at all sessions.<br />
Two Healthy U workshops begin in August: Healthy U<br />
Chronic Pain Management (Aug. 3 – Sept. 7, via phone) and<br />

via Zoom).<br />
