Sadly, there are many Canadians that are living with chronic conditions like cancer, diabetes, or heart disease that require ongoing medical attention and can have an impact on quality of life. The odds are that at some point, we will all be affected either directly or indirectly by chronic illness, and the weight of these illnesses can take a toll on our mental health. This webinar will discuss actionable steps on coping with the psychological effects of chronic illness.

What you will learn:

• The connection between chronic illness and mental health
• The psychological impacts on those with a chronic disease and their support systems
• Coping strategies, ways to build resilience, approaches to manage the stress of change, and methods of finding support
• Ways to support a loved one with a chronic condition
