SUMMARY:Chronic Disease Self-Management Program Workshop Series (July 28 - Sept 8)
DESCRIPTION:Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) was developed by a team of researchers at Stanford University. It’s a self-management education workshop for people with a variety of chronic health conditions. It aims to build participants’ confidence in managing their health and keep them active and engaged in their life. \nParticipants attend a 2 1⁄2-hour interactive workshop once a week for 6 weeks to learn problem-solving\, decision-making\, and other techniques for managing problems common to people with chronic diseases. In a typical workshop\, participants set a realistic goal for the upcoming week and develop an action plan for meeting that goal. They report on their progress at the following workshop and solicit feedback from the group to help address any challenges. \nNOTE: SEPTEMBER 1 IS LABOUR DAY SO FINAL SESSION WILL TAKE PLACE ON SEPTEMBER 8.

SUMMARY:Getting the Most from your Healthcare Appointment
DESCRIPTION:Program Description\nThe “Getting the Most from your Healthcare Appointment” workshop was developed for the public by the South West Self-Management Program in 2013. This 1 – 1.5 hours\, interactive workshop\, focuses on what to do before\, during and after an appointment and uses action planning to optimize people’s health. A variety of learning resources are used including information sharing\, videos\, tools and a resource manual that supports the individual with integrating the skills into their next appointment.

The other 364 ½ days they manage on their own.\nUpon discharge\, 1 out of 3 patients do not understand the answers to their questions and know how to manage their health condition\n\nRegister for a session directly through one of the Zoom links below: \nMay 28\, 2025\, 3:00PM – 4:30PM \nJune 23\, 2025\, 11:45AM – 1:00PM EST \nJuly 28\, 2025\, 1:00PM – 2:15PM EST
