The Staying Positive workshops will help 12 to 18-year-olds develop skills to cope with and manage conditions such as diabetes, sickle cell and asthma.
The workshops, which consist of three sessions held over a three-month period, cover topics such as sibling relationships, physical education at school, sex and alcohol. The Staying Positive programme has been developed by the Expert Patients Programme Community Interest Company (EPP CIC).
