Coping with Chronic Illness--Free Coping with chronic and or life threatening illness create many challenges for the person diagnosed and their loved ones. Adjusting to a “new normal” is stressful and can lead to worry, anxiety and even depression, each of which can then in turn affect the management of the underlying illness and relationships. This program explores ways to successfully manage the demands of your own illness or being a caregiver: managing stress, adjusting to medical regimes, communicating effectively with the health care team, and becoming a well-informed patient.
