Support groups for patients and families living with serious illness

Run by counsellors and usually held on a monthly basis, the groups aim to bring people together.

The sessions aim to support people with others in similar circumstances, to share experiences and gain information and support. When running, information about the groups is sent out to patients by post.

Counsellors are also involved in Carers’ Days and Link-up groups. An important part of our ethos is to support families during their bereavement and the counsellors co-ordinate sending information out to next of kin about our counselling and bereavement support.
