Chronic Health Issues Therapy Groups
What are chronic health issues? How can chronic health issues affect people?
A chronic health issue is expected to last a year or more. Chronic health issues require ongoing medical care. Chronic health issues may limit activities of various kinds.
​
Chronic health issues may exacerbate or introduce additional stress, pain, and fatigue. It may include sleep issues, body aches, anxiety, and irritability.
​
Why can coping with a chronic illness be so difficult?
When you are sick you’ll feel better soon. With a chronic illness it may never go away and can disrupt your life in a number of ways.
​
Chronic health issues may lead to invisible challenges like anxiety or depression. Keeping up with health management tasks can be stressful.
​
When people don't feel well it can lead to isolation, which exacerbates the other issues going on. When there are chronic health issues we need more support.
​
Chronic health issues can affect employability. The support offered by the government for people who are disabled is not enough to survive in most cities in the US.
​
The goal of this group is to live the best life we can while dealing with the chronic health issue(s).
​
We provide support, caring, resources, a discord server, laughter, provider recommendations, and the opportunity to be valued for who we are right now.
​
​
The CDC reports that:
6 IN 10 adults in the US have a chronic health issue
4 IN 10 adults in the US have two or more chronic health issues
So if you have a chronic health issue you are not alone.
