Living Well Self-Management Programs

Living Well with Chromic Disease, Chronic Pain, and Diabetes

LWSMP through USU Extension include Living Well with Chronic Disease, Chronic Pain, and Diabetes (three separate programs). These were developed at Stanford University and require facilitators to be trained before implementing them. Facilitator trainings in Utah are free, but have to be coordinated with master training sites. Participants meet one day per week for 2-2.5 hours over six weeks and learn various health and behavior strategies for managing their condition. Sessions include education but are interactive with brainstorms, discussions, and partner-work to encourage learning from others' lived experiences. Classes are taught in person, virtually, and telephonically.
