The Prairie Independent Living Resource Center will be offering a 10-week program, “Living well with a Disability,” in Hutchinson from August 6 to October 8. This program will be led by Roger Frischenmeyer and Loretta Schultz.
The program includes ten seminar like sessions. Topics include setting goals, problem solving, healthy communications, preventing depression, finding information, nutrition, physical activity and advocacy.
People with disabilities, or those with arthritis, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, heart disease or stroke can learn strategies for living healthier through these classes. Research shows that taking party in programs like “living well,” can lead to a 37 percent reduction in secondary conditions such as pain, isolation, fatigue and sleep difficulties.
The classes are free, but registration is limited. For more information, call 663-3989 and ask for Roger or Loretta.
