Virginia Cooperative Extension is excited to offer virtual sessions of Stanford University's Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP). If you or a loved one is living with a chronic condition, you know that how we manage our conditions on a day to day basis greatly determines our symptoms and quality of life. CDSMP participants practice evidence-based tools to control their symptoms, better manage their health problems, and lead fuller lives. 

Sign up ASAP! 

Contact our program leaders to get more information and inquire about in-person classes.
