Living Well With A Long-Term Condition: Living with Uncertainty

A friendly space to connect, share experiences and discover ways to live well with a long-term condition. Everyone welcome! About Cuppa & Chat Cuppa & Chat is a friendly, informal space for people living with long-term conditions, as well as their friends, family and carers. The sessions are organised and run by Jo Brooks from Shropshire Neuro Physio (Neuro Physio, Health Coach & PD Warrior Licensee) and Bright Gurupira, Managing Director of Right at Home Telford, a private homecare provider supporting people across Telford & Wrekin. The idea for the sessions was born after we realised that we were hearing similar challenges coming up for our clients time and again, regardless of the nature of their condition, disease or disability. We also noticed that these challenges rarely had a dedicated space where they could be voiced and shared. Each month, we’ll explore a different theme, share experiences, learn from one another and discover practical ideas to help us live well with a long-term condition. There’s no pressure to speak or share—just come along for a cuppa, a chat and some friendly company. Our aim is to create a welcoming space where people feel heard, supported and able to connect with others who may understand some of the challenges of living with a long-term condition. Everyone is welcome, whether you live with a long-term condition yourself, support someone else or simply want to find out more. The theme this month is: Living with Uncertainty Living with a long-term condition can mean facing questions about the future, changes in symptoms, progression and things that are outside your control. Uncertainty can be difficult to navigate, and everyone finds their own ways of managing it. This month, we’ll explore what uncertainty means to you, how you cope with the unknown and the things that can help you feel more supported and grounded.
