We are now taking referrals for the my Life Self Management Programme for people with long term health conditions in 2016 and 2017.
My Life Programmes are for people diagnosed with a long health term condition and/or living with chronic pain. The medical conditions need to be in a managed state so people can concentrate and people need enough memory coping strategies to remember and reflect on the content of the programme. The CCG would prefer older people to be prioritised but this is not essential.
Those wishing to refer can contact us using the Contact Form HERE
We require contact details for the individual and we will contact them within 48 hours of a referral. People can also self refer if you want to signpost them to us.
The my life Programme is very much for people who want to take back control of their lives rather than let the condition control their life and want to move on and find out about support and services that can help them. It runs as a set programme once a week over 9 weeks with a mixture of information sessions on different topics like personal budgets, volunteering and telecare for example but also provides a limited number (3) of one to one coaching sessions to help people identify their personal goals , the barriers to achieving them and how to break them down.
We also have a number of peer mentors who have benefited from the programme and can provide peer support for participants around specific goals.
A key component of the programme is to highlight what else is out there by way of support and services and help people make the links into those longer term networks and community support and the final session is called ‘My Place’ and highlights what is going on locally . We always try to invite local partners to attend these session in order to provide a direct contact so if any of you wish to attend please let us know. We are also keen to promote other health Initiatives and ensure all participants are provided with information.
