PEER SUPPORT
Peer support is defined as “support from a person who has knowledge from their own experiences with a disease or chronic illness. It could be a person living with or affected by the condition. The purpose of Sorogi’s support group is to provide participants with a platform to share personal experiences, challenges, and triumphs.
Benefits to Participants
- Get and give support
- Offer practical insights about dealing with a chronic illness(s)
- Share challenges and distress
- Minimize the isolation of living with or caring for a loved one with a chronic health condition.
- Stay abreast of research, technologies, treatments, and more
- Find someone going through the same stage of life with a chronic illness (college, complications, pregnancy, retirement)
- Advocate for causes and resources needed to improve the life of people affected by chronic illnesses.
If you’ve recently been diagnosed with Diabetes, one of the first things you’re likely to search for are Diabetes support groups or Diabetes help. Luckily, there are options available. Diabetes care and support can range from financial assistance for Diabetes medications, tests to determine likelihood for certain Diabetes complications, education for safe driving, and Diabetes education programs.
Whether you’re looking to receive your Diabetes support online or engage with Diabetes support services in person, Sorogi is here to help. We are proud to offer Diabetes peer support to provide invaluable support for people with Diabetes, especially those in low-to modest income households.
