Self management - skills for life

We have always been aware that living with a long-term condition is something most of us experience at some point in our lives, whether for ourselves or a family member / friend.

We therefore wanted to explore how best to share self management skills and ideas with youth in Highland to build a toolbox of skills:

Skills to use now

to manage and improve your health and wellbeing
to manage your own long-term condition(s)
to better understand the challenges that others are experiencing and be able to help and support them
to support young carers who are helping to look after parents, grand-parents or siblings who are living with a long-term condition

And skills to use later in life

to manage your own long-term condition(s)
as part of a future career
with work/life balance
to maintain a healthy balance and enhanced wellbeing in life generally

First Steps

Livingwell Digitally 2, our pilot project run in Caithness, was our first step to achieving this important mission. This Highland Youth Living Well website was created in co-production with the youth of Caithness who participated in the project. It was a great experience and chance to learn for us all!

Focus Groups

We are now working to develop a suite of wellbeing modules that can be used in youth group settings. The modules will be tested and enhanced through focus groups run by selected delivery partners, direct engagement with our youth stakeholders group and workshops/roadshows over the next couple of years.

Please see our Focus Group Privacy Notice if you are going to participate in a focus group. The sessions will be separately advertised via our delivery partners' local networks.
