Peer Support Groups
We understand the profound impact a brain tumour diagnosis can have on patients, their families, and their caregivers. That's why we’re dedicated to providing compassionate, community-driven support through our network of peer support groups across Yorkshire.
Why Join a Peer Support Group?
Our peer support groups offer a safe and welcoming space where you can:
-
Share Experiences: Connect with others who truly understand what you're going through
-
Gain Emotional Support: Feel heard, understood, and supported by people who care
-
Learn Together: Access valuable advice, coping strategies, and resources tailored to your needs
Whether you’re a patient, family member/caregiver, or have been bereaved by a brain tumour, our groups provide a lifeline of understanding and connection.
Our Groups Across Yorkshire:
We host peer support groups in towns and cities throughout the region to ensure you can find support close to home.
Each session is facilitated by trained volunteers or professionals to ensure a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. We also host regular online groups and are always open to ideas for new group locations!
