Semaine de sensibilisation aux groupes de soutien Soutenu. Inclus. Connecté.

Support Groups Awareness Week is a time to recognise, celebrate, and raise awareness of support groups and the invaluable support they provide. The 2023 campaign is being held from 23rd to 29th October.

Semaine de sensibilisation aux groupes de soutien provides an opportunity to promote the existence of support groups, to highlight the benefits of belonging to a group, and to showcase the work of the peer support group sector in ensuring healthy, connected, and thriving communities.

Peer support groups are primarily volunteer-led and run with minimal resources, and it is essential that their work is recognised and valued for its contribution to the health and mental health of our communities.

This year’s theme is Supported. Included. Connected.

The theme focuses on three key mental health benefits of being part of a support group. By joining a group, individuals are supported emotionally by others who have been through a similar experience; they are included in group activities, have a say in what matters to them, and can find a sense of belonging within the group; and they are connected to like-minded people, as well as other services and resources that can support their wellbeing. Peer Support Groups reduce isolation and provide a unique community where individuals can share experience and improve mental health outcomes.

Si vous dirigez un groupe de soutien pour la fibromyalgie, faites-le nous savoir afin que nous puissions l’inclure sur notre site Web et vous amener des gens.

If you run a fibromyalgia support group, let us know so that we can include it our our website and bring people to you.
