The goal of the group is to offer a supportive space for women to connect with other women who are going through a similar experience. Potential topics will include:
The emotional impact of chronic illness, the brain-body connection, identity and self-image, navigating relationships, medical trauma and the healthcare system, and tools/ coping strategies for managing flare-ups or uncertainty. Above all, we will strengthen the connections between group members, creating a safe, non-judgmental space for sharing experiences.
Group attendance: You are encouraged to attend all sessions as one of the goals of the group is to build community together. Participants will be asked to pay for the series in full even if a session is missed.
Payment is covering preparation time, administrative functions, and securing your space in the group, therefore refunds due to missed sessions will not be available.
Cost/Payment: Cost of the series is $150.00 total for all six sessions. Payment may be made by cash, check, or credit card. Credit card payments will incur an additional processing fee ($4.00). Your spot is secured upon receipt of payment.
