Thistle are running a 10 week lifestyle management course for people living with long term health conditions.
From 20 July, Thistle will be running a 10 week lifestyle management course for people living with long term health conditions, which includes Long Covid, and/or people facing challenging life situations.
This online course takes place over Zoom and lasts approximately three hours. It provides people with a range of tools to support them with learning how to self-manage their individual situation and get back in control.
Thistle have also developed a range of wellbeing support that can be tailored to the individual, including:
- 1-2-1 wellbeing coaching over the phone or online
- Support to develop personalised wellbeing plans
- Online mindfulness courses
- Social prescribing and peer support.
You can refer people for these courses using a referral form (this link will take you away from our website).
