Chronic Pain and Illness Support Group
Living with chronic pain and illness can be a major life transition. It can come with feelings of isolation, grief, anxiety, and depression. Managing your pain and illness can be overwhelming and exhausting. Counseling groups can help provide you with a community of others who share similar experiences, provide support, and learn different strategies and skills from trained professionals.
There are more than 20% of US adults who have chronic pain and almost 7% of adults who have high-impact chronic pain. It can be extremely difficult to navigate and bring feelings of isolating, anxiety, and depression. Some people in your life who don’t experience it may not believe you and others may not be able to understand what it’s like (no matter how hard they try).
These groups were formed by a therapist who struggles with chronic pain herself, and saw the need for a supportive community of people who share similar experiences and a safe place to vent out the frustrations, find resources, and maybe even find different ways to manage pain levels.
Support Group for Adults with Chronic Pain and Illness
Adults with chronic pain often feel alone in their struggles. This group would allow a space for them to speak to others who can understand their challenges whether you want to vent about the latest doctors appointment, express frustration about new challenging symptoms, or maybe even celebrate big or small wins. The group will also discuss different resources, coping strategies, and provide psychoeducation on mental health and chronic pain.
