Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) Workshop
This course is for individuals living with any chronic illness, e.g. heart disease, asthma, COPD, emphysema, cancer, anxiety, depression, and other conditions. Weekly meetings provide a space for individuals and family members to gather for support and learn techniques to self-manage and take control of their health and health conditions. We will meet for 2.5 hours once a week for six weeks (your health is worth it!).

Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP) Workshop
This course provides the same supportive environment as the CDSMP workshop, with an emphasis on Type 2 Diabetes for individuals and their families and friends that support them. Weekly meetings provide a supportive space to learn about diabetes and how to manage the condition. Key themes are monitoring, healthy eating, reading labels, and exercise. Groups meet for 2.5 hours once a week for six weeks (your health is worth it!).
