Better Choices, Better Health®
Living with a long-term (chronic) health condition can be hard. Better Choices, Better Health® is a free group workshop for adults who live with or support someone with a chronic health condition. Choose between one of two workshops:
- Better Choices, Better Health® – Chronic Disease: for those with conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, arthritis, gastrointestinal (GI), depression, long COVID-19 and others.
- Better Choices, Better Health® – Chronic Pain: for those with conditions like fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome, persistent pain, migraines, arthritis and others.
These workshops can help improve your confidence by learning new self-management skills and to enjoy a better quality of life.
CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Better Choices Better Heather® (BCBH) is a six-week workshop that is offered at no charge to Albertan adults living with a chronic (long-term) condition or disease.
Alberta Health Services is offering two versions of the workshop in May:

Both workshops can provide you with valuable tools that can help you live your best life with a chronic condition or chronic pain. See the attached side-by-side curriculum comparison to decide which workshop is best for you.
