Sickle Cell Support Group

The Sickle Cell Support Group is a safe and welcoming space for individuals living with sickle cell disease and their families to come together, share experiences and receive support. It usually meets twice a year and is organised by the Genetic Coordinator in the Public Health Department.

These meetings are designed to:

• Provide emotional & 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.
