This support group will focus on psychosocial issues and stress management skills. It is intended for people coming with a diagnosis of Hepatitis C and for their family members.

Support groups provide people with a chance to share common experiences and to provide support for one another in working with stress, pain, illness, and the challenges and demands of everyday life.

The benefits vary person to person and may include:

A reduction in stress, learning more adaptive ways of coping with Hepatitis C, and improved quality of life.
