Topic: Loneliness

Loneliness is not about a lack of people around you nor about solitude and peace of being comfortable with yourself. Loneliness can be described as the feeling of not being seen, heard, understood or valued. A blood cancer / disorder diagnosis can amplify these feelings. The physical and mental health effects of loneliness are significant. In this support group, we will discuss the impact of loneliness on your quality of life and discuss strategies to help feel connected and supported.

These groups are interactive in nature & your participation is highly valued.  We encourage cameras to be turned on for the session to create a warm and safe environment for all participants.
