Our Committment to Access, Equity & Inclusion

We believe self-management should be available and welcoming to everyone. Our program is free, flexible (virtual or in-person), and designed to meet people where they are. We strive to create safe, inclusive spaces where all experiences are respected, and where lived experience - whether as a patient, a caregiver, or a health professional- is honoured. 

Who We Work With

We partner with:

  • Health care providers (primary care providers, specialists, allied health, clinicians)

  • Community organizations, clinics, care teams

  • Social service agencies, support networks - any group supporting people with chronic conditions or caring for them

What We Offer for Providers & Organizations

We provide training, workshops, and education to help providers and teams integrate self-management support into their practice. Offerings include:

  • Health‑literacy workshops — to foster clear, effective communication and informed decision‑making

  • Motivational interviewing / communication training — to support behaviour change, patient engagement, and shared decision making

  • “Getting the Most From Your Healthcare Appointment” sessions — to help patients prepare for and engage during appointments, improving outcomes

  • Peer‑leader training — enabling organizations to host community workshops, lead sessions, or support patients beyond clinical care

Benefits of Self-Management Support

Partnering with us can lead to:

  • Better‑informed, more engaged patients who take an active role in their health

  • Improved self-efficacy, reduced stress and anxiety, better coping with chronic illness

  • Enhanced continuity of care — self‑management becomes part of the broader care plan, not an add-on

  • Relief for overburdened care systems — by bolstering patient capacity to manage day-to-day challenges

  • Stronger collaboration between clinical care, community supports, and self‑management resources
