There’s nothing like talking to someone who knows what it’s like to live with your health condition.
They struggle with the same things you do. They’ve gone through similar experiences, upheavals and successes. They’ve felt similar emotions and thought similar thoughts.
They really understand, in a way that’s almost impossible for people who aren’t in the same boat to understand.
This is peer support. And it can be so helpful and valuable.
Meeting with others like yourself, you can share information, provide support, get advice, and know that you’re not alone.
Support groups can be found all over the place. Some meet face-to-face, while others connect via social media and websites.
We can help you find one near you.
