Long-Term Conditions Alliance Scotland (LTCAS) are launching the "SMILE for Self Management" (Self Management Improves Lives for Everyone) campaign to raise awareness of self-management in Scotland.
The campaign is linked to a national awareness raising campaign and to Scotland's first Self Management Week taking place 4-8 October 2010. Self Management is the process each person develops to manage their condition or conditions. It is a person-centred approach in which the individual is empowered and has ownership over the management of their life and conditions. WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Planning), is one example of a tool that can be used for self management. The SMILE campaign are asking people to show their support by taking a photo of themselves, their group or organisation holding an oversized SMILE over their own nose and mouth. LTCAS plans to use the SMILE photos to make a collage to show that people across Scotland SMILE to support self management. Images and the collage will also be used on their website, promotional banners and posters which they will display at exhibitions and conferences. Closing date for entries is 17th September 2010. For more information on the SMILE campaign and self management week events please visit LTCAS’s website. LTCAS is an independent Scottish charity whose vision is for a Scotland where people with long term conditions enjoy, not endure, full and positive lives - lives free from discrimination and supported by high quality services.
