Hillsborough hosting Arthritis Care event

Challenging Pain workshops are aimed at people with chronic pain and therefore they are of value to people who have a wide range of conditions.

The courses are delivered by trained volunteers, all of whom are living with pain.

The course is comprised of 2 three hour sessions over two weeks.

The workshop provides a variety of self-management techniques for pain management including: relaxation, breathing techniques, communication skills, the benefits of exercise and how to combat negativity.

The next Challenging Pain courses in your area will be held in Hillsborough Presbyterian Church on Thursday 20 and 27 November from 10.00am – 1.00pm.

To secure your FREE place contact Yvonne on 028 9078 2940 or email [email protected].

Further information on training and other services provided by Arthritis Care can be found on www.arthritiscare.org.uk.

This course has been funded by The South Eastern Local Commissioning Group.

The Challenging Pain Course changed the life of one past participant who quoted:

“I have a more positive outlook now to living with pain and feel I can cope much better. I have also learned not to be so hard on myself and that it is okay to take things easy at times and to enjoy life!”

Don’t delay, make today the day you Challenge Your Pain.
