Cooperative Extension in Juneau and Sitka will offer a health self-management program
by Zoom, beginning Feb. 27.

Southeast Extension agent Sarah Lewis said individuals with ongoing health conditions
will learn how to better manage symptoms, reduce limitations caused by pain, communicate
effectively with their health care team, cope with difficult emotions and make daily
tasks easier.
Lewis said the classes are helpful for individuals with conditions like arthritis,
diabetes, depression, chronic pain, multiple sclerosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, or COPD.
