Why is it important to make sure a Supported Self Management Programme is the right place for person to be.

It's important to make sure a Supported Self Management Programme is the right fit for a person because it helps them learn how to take care of their own health in the best way.

Back in the day, (NHS & Pain Toolkit) we used to organise taster sessions, so people would have a good understanding of the course and is it for them. If it wasn’t, at least they would know where to go, when they are ready.

If the programme meets their needs and goals, they are more likely to feel safe supported, stay motivated, and succeed.

If it’s not the right place, they might feel confused or frustrated, which can make managing their health harder…and of course quit the programme.

Finding the right programme helps us feel more confident and in control of our health journey.
