The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program supports people with different or multiple chronic health problems (e.g. heart disease, hypertension, stroke, respiratory disease, etc.). The program is led by trained and certified peers with first-hand experience. We discuss techniques on how to deal with frustration, isolation, appropriate exercise, fatigue, pain, medication management, emotion management and much more.
