The LWP is a course aimed at adults living with any long term physical and/or mental health condition, living in West Sussex, Brighton or Hove. The course is currently running online due to Covid-19. We hope to resume face-to-face courses in the future.
Each online LWP runs for six weeks and is comprised of weekly 2 hour sessions, each structured to cover a variety of key topics dealing with various aspects of long-term health condition management, including managing pain & fatigue, stress & anxiety, depression, sleep, isolation, communication skills, working with your healthcare professionals, relaxation and distraction techniques, goal setting, problem solving and decision making. Maximum group size is 10. The group is led by 2 volunteer tutors who are also living with a long-term health condition(s).

To join one of our online LWP courses, participants will need internet connection, an email address and be able to access Microsoft Teams (MS Teams) either through the app or online. A member of our team will complete a short online video call via MS Teams with each participant before the first session of the course to ensure they are confident in its use; this is a requirement of the booking process.
