Description

Almost 50% of Americans are living with at least one chronic condition. For some, these conditions are manageable and have little impact on their daily lives. However, most Americans report a change in their daily lives because of their symptoms, lost productivity, and lost social opportunities as they engage in care systems. Over time people may experience treatment fatigue, which can lead to a disengagement from the healthcare system. This workshop will review the causes of treatment fatigues and methods to assist patients experiencing it. This workshop will also focus on creating environments that support staff in our workplaces living with chronic conditions as well.
