Your Way to Wellness is a new six week education program that aims to help those with chronic conditions overcome some of the daily challenges they face.
Your Way to Wellness helps participants cope with factors like fear, anger, frustration, healthy diet, and symptom management following their diagnoses. Trained volunteers help with developing action plans and mutual support for people with conditions that include diabetes, asthma, heart disease, fibromyalgia, depression, arthritis, or hypertension. The program is offered at no cost and is held once a week for six weeks. Groups are offered in your community at community centres, libraries, or recreational facilities.

Free Tobacco Intervention Program
Whether you want to stop or cut down, or are simply looking for reliable information about tobacco use, Capital Health offers free programs to help you.
The programs are run by trained professionals from Capital Health's Addiction Prevention and Treatment Services and are available to anyone living within the Capital Health District. (The district extends from Windsor to Sheet Harbour and includes the Halifax Regional Municipality.)
Our programs include the following:
· An opportunity to receive support from others who are experiencing the same thing you are
· Free nicotine patch or gum
· A positive personal message rather than a moral message to support your decision to not use tobacco
If you would like to take advantage of our programs, you must first attend a one-hour Getting Started Session. Please call Krystle at 424-2025 for more information.
