Coping with Chronic Conditions (Fibromyagia)

A group of members with common diagnosis of chronic illness or pain e,g Fibromyalgia, diabetes, chronic fatigue etc. The group meets fortnightly to learn various coping skills to manage and navigate the effects of chronic illness on daily living or functioning. It is effectively facilitated by an experienced and knowledgable therapist (sufferer of fibromyalgia), with the help of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). This teaches members about the power of self accepting, acceptance of the illness, commitment and determination.Members learn to turn off the tap of self-pity and turn on the fountain of inner strength (self acceptance).
