Waterloo Wellington Self-Management Program has transitioned to deliver several workshops remotely:

Communicating well with health care providers is one of the most important parts of getting good care. Join us for a free 1 hour, interactive online workshop, focusing on what to do before, during and after an appointment. The workshop includes a guide to take home to help you use new communication skills at your next healthcare appointment.
