Self-Management Programmes - GCSE Psychology Definition

Reviewed by: Lucy Vinson

Last updated

A Self-Management Programme is a way for people to learn skills and strategies to take control of their health and well-being. These programmes often involve setting personal goals, solving problems, and making decisions to improve mental or physical health. For example, a student might use a self-management programme to find ways to cope with stress, stay motivated in their studies, or manage time better. These programmes are based on the idea that individuals can learn to help themselves by gaining confidence and using practical techniques to deal with everyday challenges. In GCSE Psychology, self-management is important because it connects to understanding how people can change their behaviour and improve their quality of life.
