Support Group Format
The first 30-minutes will focus on a predetermined topic followed by a general discussion for the last half of the hour. Both of the monthly support groups are designed to include people with ME/CFS, FM, Long COVID, and co-existing conditions. We also welcome supporters and loved ones.
These sessions are led by Meredith Mehner, LCSW, who has personal experience navigating life while living with a complex chronic illness.
