Called Better Choices, Better Health, the online workshop was designed by Stanford University for adults with conditions including diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart disease, lung disorders, liver disease, multiple sclerosis, bipolar disorder, depression and many others. Participants log on at their convenience each week for about two hours per week. Leaders and participants use e-mail and message boards to interact with each other, share their experiences and offer suggestions and support.
According to Stanford, a statistically significant number of participants say the workshop has helped them feel better and gain more confidence about managing their symptoms. New classes begin in January.
