Self-Management Support

Self-management support is the help provided to people with chronic illnesses which allows them to manage their daily life. Through self-management skills and tools, we can help patients manage their chronic conditions and develop the confidence needed to make healthy choices.

​

Implementing these strategies and helping our patients requires constant collaboration between us, health care providers, and families. Through these interactions, we will motivate, listen, and coach you to make self-care become part of your day-to-day care. We must work closely together with families to offer care before, during, and after the patient visit to effectively support self-management.

​

Supporting patients with self-management involves offering a variety of methods and resources to assist you in selecting and maintaining good lifestyle choices. By learning how to use resources like care plans, goal-setting worksheets, and problem-solving approaches to help and motivate patients, we can make the transition of implementing a self-management support program easier.
