Join Dr. Tanya Packer to learn about the Packer Managing Fatigue Program.

It has since been proven effective across various populations, methods, and languages. Now available as online asynchronous training, including a one year license with access to supports and resources, the Packer Managing Fatigue Program can be used to support people who experience fatigue as a result of chronic conditions, such as Post-polio syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This one hour webinar will review the Packer Managing Fatigue Program, its development and underlying occupational therapy theories, and the evidence surrounding the program.
Learning objectives: Identify the purpose and utility of the Packer Managing Fatigue Program.
