Diabetes/ChronicPain/HeartHealth/Wellbeing PeerSupport Group. First Meeting

This will be our first meeting.

The idea is, for a peer support group. To talk about improving our ongoing health issues. Such as. Diabetes Type 1&2.
Heart Health/Attack . Blood Pressure. Cholesterol. Preventing And Recovering from Stroke/s. And general well-being.

There doesn't seem to be a place to have a coffee and a chat, with other people that have been through a significant event.

In particular dealing with Chronic Pain from certain conditions.

So the idea is just to have a suportive coffee chat, to talk about what it's like to have a lived experience and dealing with different types of difacult health issues.

If the group takes off we will definitely do more of them.

It'll be be nice to sit down and have a chat with other people who have been through similar stuff. To maybe support each other, and to help each other with the isolation that sometimes people can feel, that unless you've been through it, it's hard to understand.

As the group progresses we will try and adapt to what comes up.

And occasionally asked professionals to give advice on various help topics. As long as they're free or at the very least very-low and affordable cost.
I personally myself I'm paying a small fortune in the chemist. They wouldn't give me a medical card. For having Diabetes. Just a long-term illness card.
