Living with Chronic Illness Support Group

The Furman Counseling Center and The Office of Disability Services invite all students with chronic illnesses to join the "Living with Chronic Illness Group". Sometimes one of the hardest things about living with a chronic illness is the sense of isolation it can create. During this group, students exchange stories, advice and strategies that reduce the feelings of isolation. It provides a confidential and supportive forum to talk about the logistics, decisions and emotions that accompany having a chronic illness. For the purpose of this group, chronic illness is defined as any illness (both psychiatric and medical) that presents physical and/or emotional challenges on a daily basis. 
 

Based on student interest and scheduling, the "Living with Chronic Illness Group" meets on a weekly basis in the Furman Counseling Center. There was no group in 2007-2008, but if interested for 2008-2009, contact Susan Quinby in ODS.
