Self-Management Programs Help People Live Healthier Lives.
Self-Management programs are free, interactive sessions provided by DPH. They help people with ongoing health conditions learn how to live life to the fullest. For many people, this means a life with less stress, more energy, and a greater ability to do the things they want to do. They are evidence-based, peer-led, interactive sessions available in small groups of up to 12 participants, once a week for six weeks.
Participants Learn How to:
Address the physical and psychological effects of a chronic disease (including fatigue, pain, depression, and frustration).
Exercise, get proper nutrition, and use medications appropriately.
Communicate effectively with family, friends, and health professionals.
As a Self-Management Program Host Site, You Benefit — and the Toolkit Is Included.

You receive all the materials you need to promote the program through your organization and community. Get a glimpse at a toolkit with newsletter articles, fact sheets, and more.
