Florida Tech Expands Free Illness-Related Fatigue Management Program to Include More Ailments

MELBOURNE, FLA.—The Fatigue Management Institute of the Florida Institute of Technology School of Psychology announces a free, three-session program to provide adults suffering with rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue syndrome new skills and strategies to better manage and reduce fatigue. The program was previously available only to adults with rheumatoid arthritis.

The program will be held Tuesdays, March 16, 23, and 30, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at the Health First Pro-Health & Fitness Center at 611 East Sheridan Road in Melbourne.

Participants will gain a better understanding of chronic illness-related fatigue, learn techniques to better manage and reduce fatigue, and better discern which lifestyle changes really make a difference.

The program’s overall purpose is to help individuals with illness-related fatigue feel more empowered and able to improve their quality of life by applying new strategies. Participants should attend all three sessions to obtain full program benefits.
