The LiveWell Workshop series is
based on Stanford University’s Chronic Disease
Self-Management Program (CDSMP). The LiveWell
workshops are offered by Thurston County Public
Health and Social Services and Physicians of
Southwest Washington under a licensed agreement with
the developers of the program at Stanford
University’s Patient Education Research Center.
Sessions are highly participative, where mutual
support and success builds the participants’
confidence in their ability to manage their health
and maintain active lives. Workshop sessions are
facilitated by two Stanford-trained leaders, at
least one having personal experience with a chronic
health condition. These workshops are gender-focused
with 2.5 hour sessions being held once a week for
six weeks.
