I recently participated in a 4 day training program to become a Lay Leader for the Row Your Own Boat Program. This link is to a PowerPoint Presentation on the program which is aimed at empowering the chronically ill to take charge of their own disease management and life skills. www.chpna.ca/.../downloads/.../RYOB_PEI_Feb_2008_Freimark_Final.ppt
I look forward to next Spring when I'll be able to co-lead a group as they explore ways to cope with a chronic illness and feel more self-empowered. I carefully considered this program and feel that I can commit to 2 1/2 hrs a week for 6 weeks. Volunteering is a way to give back to a program that was so enlightening.
Is there a way that you can volunteer? It is a wonderful way to help others and distract yourself from some of your more worrisome symptoms.
