LIVING A HEALTHY LIFE
Self-Management
The Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions program is a licensed program from Stanford University that has been carefully developed and evaluated. This program follows a standardized format that provides information and teaches practical skills to manage ongoing (chronic) health conditions. Most importantly, it gives people the confidence and motivation they need to manage the challenges of living with an ongoing condition.
The workshop encourages participants to use self-management skills and tailor them to their own needs and lifestyle. In addition to learning about healthy living, participants develop skills in areas such as goal-setting, problem-solving and communications.
Small group workshops (6-15 participants) are led by 2 leaders who have received specialized training to deliver the Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions workshop series. These leaders are volunteers and/or health care professionals, many of whom have ongoing conditions themselves.
The Program is funded by the South West LHIN and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and is delivered through the South
West Community Care Access Centre (CCAC).
