Support Groups

CASA’s support groups provide assistance to lose weight and to acquire healthy habits to allow people to achieve a much better lifestyle. Support groups allow people to interact and connect with others who are in a similar situation. Sharing information about mutual experiences can help people understand more about their own situation and provide an opportunity to feel ‘heard’.
Support groups can help in many ways:
  • Make you feel you’re not alone.
  • Provide emotional and social support.
  • Help develop new skills to deal with the situation.
  • Allow the sharing of information.
  • Discuss topics like symptoms, treatment and side effects.
  • Learn from others in a similar situation and receive advice.
  • Tips on how to live with your condition or illness which can provide motivation.
