Living Well with Chronic Conditions (the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program) is a six-week workshop that provides tools for living a healthy life with chronic health conditions, including diabetes, arthritis, asthma and heart disease. Through weekly sessions, the workshop provides support for continuing normal daily activities and dealing with the emotions that chronic conditions may bring about.


The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) supports Living Well/CDSMP workshops in Oregon by providing opportunities for leader training and networking. This is coordinated through the Seniors and People with Disabilities and the Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention programs.
