    Nearly 60% of Adult Americans have at least one chronic health condition. These conditions often impact quality of life, and many are comorbid with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other behavioral health conditions. This course will give an overview of the importance of considering physical health and its impact on behavioral health. We will teach you how to create a space where talking about our body and its functions are natural and comfortable. We will explore the role of grief and loss and how to move toward acceptance of new limitations and learning to thrive within those limitations. We will share evidenced based practices that reduce suffering and validate the experiences of people with chronic health conditions. Resources will be provided to help you provide better care for your patients as they face the difficult reality of living live with chronic illness.
