Oregon Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSM)Leaders Page

The Oregon Department of Human Services supports the Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management Program - known in many areas of Oregon as Living Well with Chronic Conditions - in a number of ways.

Training

Did you know that there are more than 120 Living Well/CDSMP Leaders in Oregon, and more than 40 Master Trainers? All Leaders and Master Trainers receive specialized training.  Leader training for Living Well/CDSMP is available regularly in Oregon. There are also opportunities to receive Leader training for Tomando Control de su Salud, the Spanish language/cultural version of the program, and for Positive Self-Management for People with HIV/AIDS. 

Two trained Leaders are required to lead a program.  It is strongly recommended that Leaders are individuals living with a chronic condition, and at least one individual be a peer or lay Leader, rather than a health or social service professional. It is also very helpful if Leaders have attended a program as a participant prior to being trained.

Most Leader trainings are 4 days.  Participants must attend the full training and facilitate a program to become a Leader.  Finally, organizations offering this program must do so under a license from Stanford University (see: http://patienteducation.stanford.edu/licensing) and Leaders cannot be trained until an organization has obtained a license.
