Living Well Inverclyde - Lifestyle Management

Funded by the Scottish Government’s Self-Management: Resilience, Recovery & Development Fund and supported by the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland, Living Well is a new Lifestyle Management initiative delivered by Your Voice.

Using a solution focused, holistic approach, Living Well values the lived experience of people, not patients, and encourages local people living with a long term health condition or challenging life situation to be a facilitator of change in their own life by learning techniques and tools to reduce stress, manage better and live well.

Based on the Lifestyle Management Course developed by the Thistle Foundation in Lothian, Living Well comprises of 10 weekly group sessions that include discussion, gentle movement and therapeutic relaxation. Believing that people are resourceful, resilient and capable of dealing with life’s challenges, but sometimes lose touch with the activities that help them cope, this initiative will help local people gain control over their situation and secondary symptoms by making use of and building on their own coping and recovery strategies.
