How to contact consumers to assist with your projects
•When planning and developing Self-Management programs, it is a good strategy to include consumers and carers in the process from the beginning. Consumers and carers provide valuable insights into what they need from self-management programs as well as assisting with its promotion to the target groups in the community. Finding consumers and carers: Victorian Quality Council - Victorian Government Health Information, Australia
