Support Groups

Support Groups: Our support groups are designed to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can work through obstacles and express feelings with the assistance of peers and a group leader. Clients strive for a higher quality of life and a positive sense of independence and comfort within their communities. Special-interest support groups are designed to focus on issues specifically affecting the targeted group. Support groups may be on-going, time-limited or repeated as a series.

To join a group, please call the office which hosts the group at the number provided, or speak to your case manager.
