Education works on the premise that improving a person's knowledge will result in health behavior change. Unfortunately for all our efforts, this approach isn't particularly successful. Self-management on the other hand is based on improving a person's self-efficacy or self-confidence. Increased self-confidence is far more effective in leading to behavior change and improving a person's sense of well-being, Thus it is a dire need of the time to help by psychological counseling, group therapy, relaxation therapy and other alternative techniques or a combination of all of them to promote self efficacy management and well being. Subjects covered in the Self-Management Program include: 1. Techniques to deal with problems such as stress and tension, anger, frustration, depression, suicidal thoughts, and isolation 2. Appropriate exercise for maintaining and improving strength, flexibility, and endurance. 3. Pacing activity and rest 4. How to evaluate new treatments 5. Motivation 6. Improving a person's self-efficacy or self-confidence
