Chronic Illnesss Support - Online

Join this group to learn about strategies for noticing and managing the difficult thoughts and feelings that come up throughout this health experience. Through this group you will get a foundational understanding of one therapeutic modality that can be particularly helpful in the management of ongoing health issues: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Many modalities seek symptom reduction as an outcome of the treatment, however with ongoing health issues, symptom reduction may not be a realistic or appropriate end goal. As such, the ACT approach of pursuing what is important and fulfilling in the presence of symptoms emerges as a more realistic, albeit challenging, endeavor.
