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.
