  • 1 The first half of the program gives time for individuals to identify their illness and the impact it has had on their daily lives.
  • 2 The second half of the meeting is dedicated to discussing ways in which we can improve the quality of our lives by exchanging information on products or techniques that you have found to be helpful in reducing pain and discomfort.
