Coping & Caring

Coping & Caring seminars are one-day educational workshops for people living with lung disease and their caregivers. They feature presenters familiar with the unique issues facing lung disease patients.

Past topics have included:

The importance of exercise and a healthy lifestyle
The latest information on new medications to treat lung disease
Using humor to live well and stress less
How to travel with oxygen
Dealing with elder abuse
How to care for the caregiver

Participants have stated that after attending a Coping and Caring workshop, they exercise more, seek proper treatment faster, and generally feel more comfortable living with their condition.

Coping and Caring workshops have been given across the state of Colorado for the past 10 years for minimal cost to participants. Oxygen is always included.
