What They’re Saying

The “Live Well” workshops are not only informative and useful, but also enjoyable. I look forward to every session.

The welcome and outreach from the MSC to LGBT people has been wonderful. I have learned many new things, made new friends, and have a greater understanding of what the area senior centers offer in services and support.

This workshop taught my husband and me how to live a healthy life with a chronic illness by overcoming the physical, mental and emotional problems caused by the conditions.

I learned about new ways to exercise to improve flexibility, strength and balance, and keep sugar level under control.

I have better control over many aspects of my life. I feel more empowered to choose to act rather than just react.

I learned the benefits of positive thinking, healthy eating and exercise.

I’ve enjoyed learning how to set realistic goals and felt good about achieving many of them!

I would recommend this workshop to everyone . . . there are so many things for all of us to learn at any age.

I found the content to be good, the instructors to be wonderful and my participation to be very rewarding.

Started yoga, eating lunch at the senior center, getting out more and walking.

I learned how to set up an exercise program that fits my needs and about how to be realistic about completing it.

I’m thrilled to be back on track with healthy eating and exercise.

I learned so much. I understand more about how to manage my health issues and now pay more attention to myself.

I benefited from the discussions and the problem solving activities.

I like feeling part of a group and knowing I am not alone in life.

Sharing, learning, good feelings, people with like needs, no negative vibes, warmth and love, best of all, made new buddies.

My action plan steps are already helping me become a healthier person.

I’ve learned how to accept my health issues and deal with my limitations in a positive way.

I benefitted so much from the action plans. I will definitely carry this forward.

Meeting others with similar health concerns and hearing how they cope was inspiring for me.

For the first time in a while, I felt like trying to be more active again. I started eating better and being with everyone helped take my mind off of my own problems.

We found participation with members of the group and sharing experiences most rewarding.
