Home Supported Self Management 

Some people who have long term health conditions, mobility challenges, live in a rural or live in a high rise…getting out and about isn’t always possible. So interacting with others could be a problem.

Learning Supported Self Management skills could also be a problem and why we developed the Pain Toolkit Academy (I was speaking with Dave Oxley and he tells adapting pain course for people living with long term conditions, is very much on his to-do list.)

Home Supported Self Management is a way for us to take control of our health and daily activities while being at home. It means getting help and support to manage things like medication, appointments, and healthy habits in a familiar environment. This approach is all about making sure that we can live independently but still have the tools and resources we need.

A Supported Self Management plan is a structured way to help us learn and practice how to manage our health on our own. It provides guidance on setting personal goals, understanding our health conditions, and making good choices. This plan might include regular check-ins from healthcare professionals or family members to offer support and encouragement.

Together, Home Supported Self Management and a Supported Self Management plan work hand in hand. The plan provides a roadmap for what needs to be done, while home support gives us the resources and encouragement we need to follow that plan successfully. By combining these two, we can feel more empowered and confident in managing their health, leading to a better quality of life.
