	Think Self-Management	Chronic disease complicates treatment and management in an already overburdened healthcare system. Especially as populations are aging. “Self-management” is essential to navigating life with many chronic conditions. But there is a gap between what the research shows to be effective tools for managing these conditions, and the tools that healthcare professionals can actually access and implement. Think Self-Management (TSM) tackles this challenge by providing a one-stop hub for evidence-based resources for self-management practices. By making tools and resources created by chronic disease researchers readily accessible to healthcare providers, TSM empowers individuals with chronic conditions to develop self-management skills. Leading to improved health and overall well-being, at scale. Think Self-Management's flagship program the Packer Managing Fatigue Program, is 6-week occupational therapy intervention for the management of severe fatigue caused by chronic conditions.
