Topic: Navigating the Complex Healthcare Industry: Using Awareness and Self-advocacy Skills to Get What We Need
Support Group Format
Both 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 a licensed professional who has personal experience navigating life while living with a complex chronic illness. Each session includes a topic and guided discussion. Participants are encouraged to participate to their comfort level which may include listening, communicating in the chat box, and/or sharing verbally with the group.
We strive to foster an inclusive and accepting environment for all!
