This is the Spanish version of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program that was designed in Spanish for Spanish - speakers. It is designed to improve the self - management skills of people living with ongoing health issues. Conditions like arthritis, mental health conditions, chronic pain, cancer, or diabetes can cause those affected to lose physical conditioning and suffer health problems over many years. This program teaches new strategies that will give participants the confidence, motivation, and skills needed to manage living with a chronic health condition.
