Overview of Self-Management The Central East LHIN Self-Management Program is one of 14 Self-Management Programs across the Province of Ontario. We offer Self-Management training and workshops to participants, caregivers and health care professionals across the Central East LHIN. Here in Central East, our program staff include: one Senior Manager, four Coordinators, one Coordinator for Professional Education, and two Administrative Assistants. Our program is hosted by the Central East CCAC and is funded by the Central East LHIN. We have approximately 150-200 volunteers on an ongoing basis that lead workshops and training sessions, all of who have taken and successfully completed all appropriate training and application processes. The program also has its own Advisory Council, consisting of 14 members and is chaired by the Senior Manager 3
What is Self-Management? Self-Management is The active participation of individuals in achieving their own best health and wellness Self Management Support is A range of organizational, community and provider strategies to support the active participation of individuals in achieving their own best health and wellness (Definitions from the Ontario Diabetes Strategy, MOHLTC Self-Management Working Group, 2010) 4
Why is Self-Management Important? Current evidence shows that people with chronic disease(s) who are able to self manage their conditions are likely to: have fewer disease related complications, experience greater quality of life and better overall health more appropriately use health care services than those who do not self manage 5

Self - Management Program (SMP) as Part of the Vascular Health Strategic Aim The Self - Management Program is embedded within the Vascular Health Strategic Aim Coalition (VHSAC) along with other key supporting stakeholders working towards the achievement of the 2016-19 Vascular Health Strategic Aim. The SPM links to the priority initiatives for 2016/17 which are supported by the VHSAC and other stakeholders. These include: 1. Developing an action-oriented Central East LHIN Vascular Strategy with an implementation plan across LHIN sub-regions; 2. Creating greater access to culturally appropriate services within diabetes and vascular programs for Francophone, Indigenous populations, and new immigrants: Coordination of self-management workshops in French across Scarborough and Durham LHIN sub-regions 3. Enhancing linkages with other programs to create an integrated system of care for clients with chronic disease at the LHIN sub-region level. 8
SMP Centralized Training Funding Central East LHIN As part of the diabetes divestment in July 2016, the Central East LHIN was selected by MOHLTC to lead the coordination of centralized training across the 14 provincial SMPs in collaboration with the Central East CCAC. This collaborative leadership provides oversight to the centralized training funds ($300,000) to ensure that each SMP across the province has adequate resources to meet their self-management training needs. Each SMP will submit their requests to the Central East CCAC SMP as they have in the past. The Central East LHIN will support the disbursement of funding and any potential reallocation of funding between the SMPs across the province. This latter role is new to the Central East LHIN. 9

I was so excited to see the announcement about a new website for the self management programs. I have just finished taking a look around and I think there are some great improvements. New Website www.ceselfmanagement.ca I love that folks can enter their postal code to find programs and no longer need to know what CCAC region/branch they live in. The links throughout work well and I think it appears very user friendly and more importantly senior friendly. Health care provider 17
