The Sickle Cell Support Group is a safe and welcoming space for individuals living with sickle cell disease, their families and caregivers to come together, share experiences and receive support. It usually meets twice a year (June and November) and is organised by the Genetic Coordinator in the Public Health Department.
These meetings are designed to:
- Provide emotional and social support
- Share useful information about managing sickle cell disease
- Offer an opportunity to ask questions and engage with healthcare professionals
- Help affected individuals and their families feel less alone by connecting with others who understand their journey.
