SELF-CARE WORKSHOPS 2020-2021

 CHRONIC PAIN/FIBROMYALGIA SUPPORT GROUP

Good Shepherd Community of Faith, 187 Southside Parkway, Buffalo, NY (across from South Park High School) will offer a chronic pain, including fibromyalgia, support group. This group is an opportunity for sufferers to share their journeys as well as what works for them and what does not. We will truly SUPPORT one another with our caring presence. Also, up-to-date information will be provided, and guest speakers, knowledgeable in the field of chronic pain/fibromyalgia, will be invited occasionally. We will discuss causes, the latest studies and their findings, and comfort-providing practices.

The group will meet on the first Thursday of each month, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., beginning September 2. The group will be led by Rev. Dr. Barbara Hulsing and Sue Allen, Retired RN.

For further information about the support group, contact Barbara at 716-574-0164 or barb.hulsing@gmail.com.
