Arthritis Self-Management Program 
ASMP is taught over a six-week period in weekly two-hour sessions. Each program usually has from eight to 14 people and is led by trained volunteer leaders. Most of the leaders have arthritis themselves or are health care professionals. They are all interested in helping people with arthritis, and have successfully completed a 15-18 hour ASMP Leader Training Workshop. The leaders usually work in pairs and follow a standardized course outline to ensure continued quality of the program
