People with hepatitis C are invited to take part in a health self management course run by Hepatitis C Victoria.The course aims to provide health education training to people with hepatitis C which will help them develop strategies that will manage their condition.The Hep C: Take Control Project aims to provide a supportive group environment to assist people with hepatitis C to understand what they can do to improve their symptoms. Participants in the project are invited to attend a six-week self-management course designed to help people with hepatitis C to manage their condition better. Over 6 weeks we will meet for 2 hours per week to explore what you can do in your own life to better manage your health and wellbeing, including; Week 1: Introduction to the virus and its effects The content of the 6 week course has been determined by speaking to people with hepatitis C about their education needs related to managing hepatitis C, and by talking to doctors and other health professionals who work with people with hepatitis C. The course will be co-facilitated by Helen McNeill and Garry Sattell. There will be an emphasis on respecting the privacy and confidentiality of those involved. The 6 week self management course will be held at the Hepatitis C Victoria office, Suite 5, 200 Sydney Road, Brunswick. Depending on the numbers of people interested we envisage running two courses, one starting on March 17, 5.30pm to 7.30pm (a light meal will be provided) with the second course starting the following week. Workers in the sector who have clients with hepatitis C are encouraged to promote the Hep C: Take Control course to their clients who may benefit from having a better understanding of health self management.
