An introduction

12 Self-Management Tools

When you click on each of the tools from 1-12, the videos are from the Pain Toolkit, simply because some people with long term health conditions will also experience pain and other painful health conditions. The Self-Management Toolkit has been adapted from the Pain Toolkit which Pete Moore authored in 2001.

There is a downloadable digital Self-Management Toolkit.

There is also a *Self-management Virtual Reality Hangout where Pete has posted more self-management reminders and  meet others living with long-term health conditions. An opportunity to swap ideas. 

*No need for a headset and all you need is a phone, tablet or computer to access. Here is a guide to help you get started.

Going it alone

Living with a long-term health condition, including persistent pain and going it alone as I found out, can be tricky and you may need some help at times. Where do you get help from? Well, help and support can come from your family, friends, healthcare teams, work colleagues and the Self-Management. It’s important to get the right support in place. Make sure members of your healthcare professional team are experts or familiar with the self-management concept.
