CDSMP was developed by a team of researchers at Stanford University. It’s a self-management education workshop attended by people with a variety of chronic health conditions. It aims to build participants’ confidence in managing their health and keep them active and engaged in their lives. Participants attend a 2½-hour interactive workshop once a week for six weeks to learn problem-solving, decision-making, and other techniques for managing problems common to people with chronic diseases.
