North Simcoe Muskoka Self Management Programs

North Simcoe Muskoka Self Management Programs Welcome to the North Simcoe Muskoka Self Management Programs! Our programs are designed to support adults living with one or more chronic health conditions.

Our programs include the Living a Healthy Life Series for individuals with chronic conditions or chronic pain, as well as skills-based workshops for health care providers to excel in their work with individuals with chronic conditions. The programs help people and their caregivers manage their symptoms, improve their quality of life, and reduce healthcare costs. Living with a chronic health condition can be challenging and we use evidence-based programs to teach the skills and knowledge you need to live a healthy life. Our programs include the Living a Healthy Life Series for individuals with chronic conditions, as well as skills-based workshops for health care providers to excel in their work with individuals with chronic conditions. Our programs are funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care and are free for anyone in Barrie, Orillia, Midland, Penetanguishene, Wasaga Beach, Collingwood, Muskoka, and all surrounding communities. We look forward to working with you. Register for a program by emailing [email protected] or calling 705 717 4744.

The walks will continue through Thanksgiving and, weather permitting, into late October.

September 21 is World Alzheimer’s Day. Did you know that more than 350,000 Ontarians are living with dementia?

Dementia affects each person differently, and no two experiences are exactly the same.

World Alzheimer’s Day encourages learning about Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Culture, language, gender, race, socioeconomic circumstances, and access to care can influence how dementia is understood, how support is accessed, and what care feels meaningful to each person.

In long-term care, a resident may rely more on their first language as dementia progresses or find comfort in prayer, music, familiar foods, or cultural practices. Person-centred care may include using translated or visual communication tools, maintaining familiar routines, and learning what matters most to each resident.

These approaches can support dignity, autonomy, belonging, and meaningful participation.

One of the most valuable parts of self-management workshops is learning alongside others.

Participants can share experiences, exchange practical ideas, and feel supported by people who understand what it’s like to manage a chronic condition, chronic pain, or caregiving responsibilities.

Sometimes, support from others makes all the difference.
