Due to concerns over the spread of Covid-19, some of our Support Groups
have been put temporarily on hold, while some are now meeting online.
We will inform the community when these groups resume in-person activity.
Please check the status of each of our support groups below, and thank
you for your continued understanding.
Comfort and company
The road to recovery can be challenging for patients and their loved ones.
It often helps to connect with others going through similar experiences.
