Our workshops also allow people to share their own experiences in complete confidence with others and act more as a peer support group as well as being educational and fun.

There are a number of free services that operate under Bromley Well, although the long term health condition service concentrates on people living with a long term health condition.

Our service gives one to one support via our lifestyle support workers which can be either over the phone or in person and assists with positive lifestyle changes which could be implemented to assist in improving the health and well-being of the individual.

As well as emotional support and health advice, our lifestyle support workers also run self-management workshops to help participants manage their own health condition and as a consequence spend less time either in GP surgeries or hospitals.

Some of the subjects we cover are:

• The importance of mindful quality sleep
• Pain management
• Physical activity
• Diet and lifestyle
• Managing medication and medication adherence
• And many more…

This is a completely free service. 

We deliver health & well-being workshops across the Bromley Borough for Bromley residents. Therefore, we are happy to deliver our health & well-being programmes within your facilities.

Please contact me on the contact details above and arrange for a meeting with your potential group of residents and then we can organise the workshops going forward. 

Applicants should expect a friendly service that gives 1-2-1 support for people who are living with a long term health condition.

Also the workshops follow the same ethos and allow participants to feel comfortable to share their own experiences as well as learn about new information regarding health & well-being. The workshops are friendly and fun and also relaxed.
