LTHU`E — The County of Kauai Agency on Elderly Affairs is announcing that registration
is open for the "Better Choices, Better Health" workshop series.
"This workshop is open to anyone 18 years of age or older," said Agency on Elderly
Affairs Executive Kealoha Takahashi. "The workshops and materials have been proven to help
participants better manage their health."
The workshops will be held at the Pi`ikoi Building from June 3 to July 8, from 1 to 3:30
p.m. Participants will attend six sessions held once a week for two and a half hours.
The "Better Choices, Better Health" workshop is a six -week self -management workshop
developed and tested by Stanford University. The workshop does not replace prescribed
treatment. Instead, the workshop augments and supports medical -professional -recommended
treatment plans. People learn skills to help them manage their health conditions and interact
with their health care providers.
