The In-Person Self-Management Programs are Self-Management BC’s traditional community programs. These 2.5 hour sessions over six weeks provide more opportunity for discussion and information. Adults with chronic health conditions, their family members and caregivers can participate in free self-management programs offered at community centres throughout the province. These are evidence-based programs which provide information, teach practical skills and give people the confidence to manage their health condition(s). Groups of eight to twelve participants meet with two peer trained facilitators.
