Living Well Washington (Chronic Disease Self-Management)

Living Well Washington is the state portal for Stanford-developed Chronic Disease Self-Management Education programs (CDSME), including the general CDSMP, Diabetes Self-Management Program, Chronic Pain Self-Management Program, and tomando control de su salud (Spanish). Each is a six-week small-group workshop led by trained leaders (often peer leaders living with chronic conditions themselves). Topics include medication management, healthy eating, exercise, communication with providers, fatigue and sleep, and coping with difficult emotions. The program is recognized by the CDC and ACL as evidence-based.
