SUPPORT GROUPS

AWISH support group leaders offer coping tips and education, and from a perspective of true understanding, provide reassurance to fellow participants.  Rheumatologists agree that support groups are important in proper disease management.  By talking to others afflicted by a disease similar to our own, we don't feel as alone in our illness.  We also glean new and different ways of dealing with our disease and the depression which sometimes can follow. Call us for further details.
