About CDSMP:

The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) is a workshop for adults with at least one chronic health condition, which may include epilepsy. It focuses on disease management skills, including decision making, problem-solving, and action planning.


What is the benefit?

  • Physical and psychological well-being;

  • Knowledge of ways to manage chronic conditions; and

  • Motivation to manage challenges associated with

​

How does it work?

Participants attend a 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. These workshops are offered virtually on Zoom and facilitated by 2 trained leaders. In a typical workshop, participants set a realistic goal for the upcoming week and develop and action plan for meeting that goal. They report on their progress at the following workshop and ask for feedback from the group to help address any challenges.
