Abstract: |
Self care is all about individuals taking responsibility for their own health and wellbeing. It includes the actions people take every day in order to stay fit and maintain good physical and mental health, meet their social and psychological needs, prevent illness or accidents and care more effectively for minor ailments and long term conditions. People living with a long term condition can benefit from being supported to self care. The aim of this self care training manual is to provide a comprehensive and effective programme that clearly lays out how organisations and individual care workers can provide support that places the user at the centre of the process. The manual has been designed to be used by trainers to support learners in groups of up to 12 workers over a period of 2 days. The training can also be delivered to smaller groups over a period of 4 weeks, as a module-by-module training. In total there are 10 modules. This document, module 3, introduces the concept of self care and self care support, and gets learners to consider new ways of thinking, so they begin to involve people in better managing their own health and wellbeing. |
