Other Self-Management Supports

 

Promoting community supports and organizations helps people stay healthy and feel supported. Many communities offer programs, groups, and services that give people helpful information and a place to connect with others. These supports can help people deal with daily challenges and learn new ways to take care of their health. When people know about these community resources, they are more likely to get the help they need and feel less alone. Sharing information about these programs helps more people find support in their community.
