What do the classes cover?

How to live an active life with an ostomy. What to expect for the first three months.  How to secure ongoing supplies, bathe, swim, dress, exercise, travel, return to work or school, and connect with resources. These vendor-neutral classes will help familiarize you with basic ostomy supplies, pouching systems, accessories, and how to live everyday life with an ostomy.
