September Highland Self Management Forum
Let's talk about fatigue!
Our September Forum took place on Thursday 5th September, 2-4pm on Teams. The theme was 'Let's talk about fatigue'. Fatigue is a complicated symptom and many people who experience fatigue feel they are not being listened to or getting the treatment they need. Speakers included Tim Allison Director of Public Health and Policy speaking about Vaccines, Fiona McKechnie on her latest book Mindfulness Based Therapy for Fatigue and other specialists in several areas of fatigue. For full listing, check out the full agenda.

What is MySelf-Management?​
​
MySelf-Management has been active for over ten years, promoting and supporting the vision of self management of health for those living with long-term conditions.
In broad terms, self management encourages and supports individuals to take greater responsibility for their own health and wellbeing and seek to live life to its full potential. It is about forging an equal partnership between the individual, health and other professionals and the community around them, to the mutual benefit of all.
​
MySelf-Management aims to raise awareness of the difficulties of living with lifelong chronic conditions and help people self-manage their conditions through training, education and fun - giving people the ability to control how they live their lives better and with confidence.
