Support groups: You're not alone

UW Health organizes or helps to facilitate a number of support groups to help our patients and their families and friends learn the best ways to meet their health challenges.

Overview

Find support, understanding and encouragement

Support groups can provide support, understanding and encouragement, allowing you to talk with and listen to other patients and family members who are having similar life experiences due to challenging medical situations.

Please note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the following support groups are temporarily paused or have changed to a virtual format. Please check with the group contact for additional information.
