Mindfulness training, social engagement and ICT support to empower citizens to build a healthy lifestyle and manage chronic diseases
Demi Cheng
This book describes the SEFAC project that was supported by the European Union’s Third Health Program. In four European cities, SEFAC developed and evaluated a training for citizens with (a risk for) chronic conditions to improve self-management. The book describes the social engagement framework, the SEFAC courses based on mindfulness, and the SEFAC app. These tools can be used to promote self-management and healthy lifestyles. We invite social and health professionals to use these results.
