The Chronic Care Self-Management Program
The Chronic Care Self-Management Program (CCSMP) is an educational initiative designed to help individuals with chronic health conditions like diabetes, arthritis, or asthma manage their diseases effectively. It provides practical tools and strategies to improve patients' confidence in handling their health. Participants learn about goal-setting, problem-solving, and decision-making, alongside managing their symptoms and navigating healthcare systems. The program promotes self-empowerment, encouraging individuals to take an active role in their care while fostering support through group interactions. Ultimately, it aims to enhance quality of life and health outcomes for those living with chronic illnesses.
