Self-management of the health condition

...

Self-management education focuses on equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their medical, emotional, and social well-being, either to prevent or cope with a health condition. Personalized guidance helps develop strategies tailored to each person's needs, promoting independence and active participation in daily life.

Effective communication is key to decision-making, and involving family members, caregivers, or others familiar with the individual's needs can enhance this process. Support should also be provided to help individuals live in their preferred settings, engage in meaningful activities, and navigate significant changes in their living arrangements.

Additionally, providing clear information about where to seek help in cases of abuse is essential for ensuring safety and empowering individuals to access the necessary support.
