    Many people find talking with people in a similar situation a great way to learn, gain valuable support and combat feelings of isolation. We provide a range of support and education groups led by healthcare professionals. How support groups can help:

    • An opportunity to be supported and to help support others
    • Professional advice and support from skilled facilitators
    • A chance to talk about your concerns, share experiences and information
    • Develop new skills for looking after yourself and coping with day to day life
    • Dealing with your emotions, and the emotions of your family
    • Feel less isolated by being connected with a group.
