Welcome to Stewartry Self Management Programme

Self Management Programme (SMP) has been established in five different areas in Dumfries and Galloway in 2012.
The programme is part of Building Healthy Communities and is supported through the Change Fund Programme ‘Putting You First’.
It focuses on individuals approaching older age 50+, those living with long term conditions and carers. Self-Management is a term used to describe better management of circumstances or health issues by individuals themselves.

Healthy Connections Stewartry
