ADRC to host senior online support group for chronic conditions
For the City Times
STEVENS POINT – Seniors age 55 and older and adults with disabilities who are coping with chronic conditions are invited to join the ADRC of Portage County’s new online support group, “Coffee and Chronic Conditions.”
During this time of social distancing, many people are unable to access their usual supports for well-being. The group meets virtually from 1-2 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month beginning May 13.
“Coping with chronic disease is difficult because the burden of managing the disease is placed upon the individual. Coping alone makes it so much harder during this period of social distancing,” said Kate Giblin, health promotion coordinator for the ADRC of Portage County. “The idea of a virtual support group is to bring together people who are going through similar experiences so that they can offer each other support and friendship, all from the safety of their own homes.”
