Who we are:

The Waterloo Wellington Self-Management Program (WWSMP) is hosted by Langs and funded by the Waterloo Wellington Local Health Integration Network (LHIN).  The role of the WWSMP is to coordinate self-management programs that support individuals and their caregivers in the region living with or at risk of developing chronic diseases.  The role also includes providing self-management support training, education and mentoring to healthcare providers.

There are 14 self-management(SM) programs across Ontario, each aligned with their respective Local Health Integration Network (LHIN).  For contact information on other SM programs in Ontario, click here

Self-management is defined as the active, engaged participation of individuals in achieving their best health and wellness.  This involves gaining the confidence, knowledge and skills to manage physical, social and emotional aspects of life in partnership with healthcare providers and community supports.

Self-management support is the range of organizational, community and healthcare provider strategies to elicit and support the active participation of individuals in achieving their best health and wellness.
