Living Well in the Community is a ten hour workshop series broken up over numerous sessions. The workshop, grounded in the Independent Living philosophy, can help people set and achieve quality of life goals, while building skills to support health and wellness. Living Well in the Community has two different and related meanings: developing healthy living habits and living a meaningful, rich life.
