We offer "TAKING CHARGE OF FIBROMYALGIA: SELF HELP EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR FIBROMYALGIA"
Taking Charge of Fibromyalgia Course Information (PDF)
The Board of the Fibromyalgia Support Group of Winnipeg has organized this program to educate people with the most up-to-date information on Fibromyalgia, enabling them to become the primary movers in the management of their condition.
