Session Evaluation<\/a><\/h2>\n

Every relationship has ups and downs.\u00a0 Illness brings another dimension to any relationship.\u00a0 This part of the Conference will focus on the correlation between physical health and relationships.<\/p>\n

We will look at the following elements:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. How stress in a relationship affects health<\/li>\n
  2. Dealing with your own illness<\/li>\n
  3. Coping with the chronic illness of a partner<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    We will discuss various coping mechanisms, how to emotionally relate to an ill partner, the impact of illness on a relationship (particularly when illness results in loss of job, loss of intimacy, etc.), and how to manage certain stresses so as to alleviate potential health concerns.<\/p>\n
