Are You Dealing with an Ongoing Health Condition? Heart disease, chronic pain, HIV, Hepatitis C, diabetes, or something else? Chronic conditions are common among people in prison. You can take steps to live well even with a chronic condition. Stanford University has developed a patient self-care program called the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP). We meet once a week for seven weeks to teach you about: • managing symptoms; • better medication usage; • improving communication; • exercise and nutrition to fit your chronic condition; • how depression plays into chronic conditions; • much, much more about how to take care of yourself with your chronic condition. If interested send an inmate communication to Counselor Winter at Box X339 with CDSMP in the subject line of the communication.
