Free

Our general self-management programme runs over 6 weeks and is for anyone who has a long-term health condition of any kind, whether it be a physical or mental health condition. This programme is also suitable for those who are caring for someone with a long-term health condition, to offer support for the carer’s health and wellbeing. There are a wide range of topics covered, which include:

  • Managing symptoms like pain and fatigue to improve how you feel

  • Setting weekly realistic goals using Action Plans

  • Relaxation and distraction techniques

  • Managing the difficult emotions that almost everyone experiences when living with a long-term health condition

    The programmes take place in local community venues, or are delivered online using the free application Microsoft Teams.

    Our programmes and workshops are free and are provided by your local NHS. They are run by volunteers and staff who have long term health conditions just like you.  It doesn’t interfere with any treatment you are currently receiving as it complements other healthcare programmes.
