"The workshops put me back in charge of my life, and I feel great. I only wish I had done it sooner." - a Living with Chronic Conditions workshop participant
CDSMP is a FREE interactive, evidence-based program developed by Stanford University. People with different chronic health problems attend the workshop once a week for six weeks. Workshops are led by two trained leaders, one or both living with a chronic disease. Each participant in the workshop receives a copy of the book, Living a Healthy Life With Chronic Conditions, 4th Edition, and an audio relaxation CD, Relaxation for Mind and Body.
The way the program is taught makes it effective. Participants are very involved in the classes and support each other. Success builds participants' confidence in managing their health and maintaining active and fulfilling lives.
