Summary:
Chronic health conditions are common and many clients we treat have some encounter with a chronic health condition at some point in their life. In this salon, we will provide a mini MS 101 where we look at the involvement of the central nervous system and the immune system, treatments available, and wellbeing strategies, discuss potential treatment implications medically, socially, and psychologically, and look closer at disability-in particular variability with disability. 2 CEUs.

Learning Objectives:

  • Have a better understanding of MS
  • Identify ways in which chronic health conditions impact clients and families we serve
  • Identify how one can utilize therapy in processing through a chronic health condition diagnosis
