People living with chronic conditions spend about five percent of their time with health professionals. The rest of the time, they manage their own health. That’s why self-management is so important – to people with chronic conditions, their caregivers, health care providers and the health care system.

The South West Self-Management Program offers free programs for people with chronic conditions. These workshops provide participants with the skills, tools and confidence to better manage their conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, chronic pain, heart disease and other ongoing conditions. Self-referrals are welcome!

The South West Self Management Program offers programs for health service providers to assist with the integration and implementation of self-management best practices. This is achieved through skills workshops, education and skills training in self-management support, tools, resources and consultation on how to best integrate principles into clinical programs.
