Support Groups

Support Groups provide many benefits to people with long term medical conditions and importantly provide guidance and support to families, carers, and friends. Members of these groups provide strength and support to each other through difficult situations.

There are a number of types of support groups, some completely run by the members, and others facilitated or lead by Health Professionals

Many of the Support Groups listed on these pages are not run by The North Coast Area Health Service. However, all are affiliated with well recognised national bodies, and in most cases we provide links to those national organisations as well as information about where local groups meet.

Our Online Service Directory can help you find health services across the North Coast Region.

The service directory features entries about carer support as does the Living With Chronic Disease Website

A comprehensive Carer Service Directory has been developed by NCAHS staff, it provides information about a wide range of services to support carers across our region.
