Online Support Groups

Online Support Groups

Pink Hope’s Online Support Groups can be found on Facebook. These closed groups allow you to connect with other at increased risk people giving you the opportunity to give and receive peer to peer support.  Members share their experiences and ask and answer questions gaining support and information from other at increased risk individuals.

How much and how often you wish to participate in these groups is your choice.  Some members are very active while others less so.  The groups are there for you to use in the way that provides you with the support you need.

Please note members are required to abide by the Group Guidelines which are published in each group.

The online support groups and the website were exactly what I needed. All those feelings that I had, that I was too scared to mention to anyone, were normal and my mind was at ease. Natasha
