SERVICE DETAILS
Our self management support service is aimed at adults living in Edinburgh and Midlothian with one or more long-term health conditions.
The service is aimed at adults who feel isolated, need extra support or would like to develop skills to manage everyday challenges.
If you feel isolated, would like some extra support to access services or are simply interested in developing skills to manage your everyday challenges then this service may be of interest to you.
Through having a meaningful, person-centred conversation the self management support service can help you to:
- Connect to appropriate community supports and services
- Access resources to gain a better understanding of your long-term health condition
- Assist you to develop action plans which will result in better health and wellbeing outcomes
- Identify strategies to assist you to manage your emotional and physical challenges better
- Help you to feel better prepared for your medical appointments and get more from these in the future
- The service is personalised to you and will help you identify what’s right for you at this time.
