The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded Lamprey Health Care Inc. a Cooperative Agreement for $1,071,511 on August 1, 2026, under the Empowering Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities through Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Programs (CFDA 93.734), financed by Prevention and Public Health Funds.

Lamprey Health Care will expand and sustain New Hampshire's Well-Being Action Network, which delivers chronic disease self-management education (CDSMP), chronic pain self-management programs (CPSMP), diabetes self-management programs (DSMP), Tomando control programs, and Walk with Ease programs to seniors and adults with disabilities, prioritizing individuals with behavioral health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or substance use disorders. Over the three-year performance period (August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2029), the program targets enrollment of 600 chronic disease self-management education participants and 548 Walk with Ease participants. Lamprey Health Care will develop and disseminate 508-compliant resources including brochures, forms, slide decks, and websites, with the University of New Hampshire Institute on Disability providing technical assistance. A capstone project documenting lessons learned will support replication by others in the field. Work is performed in New Hampshire and involves partnership with the Bureau of Aging & Adult Services, Community Behavioral Health Association, UNH Extension, and other statewide partners to increase program referrals, sites, and leaders.

Strategies to deliver & sustain the well-being action network of NH - new hampshire (NH) proposes to expand and sustain its well-being action network (wban) which offers self-management programs for chronic disease, chronic pain, diabetes, and walk with ease (WWE). Since 2010, NH has maintained a statewide network of sites and leaders offering cdsmp. NH has 1.4 million people and an aging population. Our targeted impacts include seniors and individuals with disabilities, prioritizing those with behavioral health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or substance use disorders as well as those experiencing chronic pain or stressors that negatively impact behavioral health, such as a new diagnosis. Goals are to: (1) develop capacity to increase the number of older adults and adults with disabilities who participate in chronic disease self-management education by 600 participants and 548 WWE participants over three years, and (2) develop and disseminate 508-compliant resources to enhance capacity to serve the target population and aid in the sustainability of programs. NH partners with the bureau of aging & adult services, community behavioral health association, UNH extension, and other partners to increase program referrals, sites, and leaders. Partners ensure statewide engagement through increased outreach, and capacity building. UNH institute on disability will provide technical assistance to develop 508-compliant resources such as brochures, forms, slide decks, and websites that will result in a capstone project highlighting lessons learned to support replication by others in the field.
