Through feedback from brain tumour survivors, caregivers, friends and family members as well as health care professionals, the need for an adult brain tumour support group in the Barrie, Ontario area has been identified. Your help is needed to establish the support group in this region. We are looking for volunteers to facilitate and organize the group as well as individuals who would be interested in attending the monthly meetings. Anyone from within the Barrie-Simcoe region (and surrounding communities) is welcome to participate.
If you are interested in learning more about launching a brain tumour support group in the Barrie, Ontario region, please contact: Trishna Wedemire, Support Services Specialist at 1-800-265-5106 ext 234 or twedemire@braintumour.ca
Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada supports 23 brain tumour support groups across Canada.
What is a Brain Tumour Support Group?
Brain Tumour Support Groups help survivors, family and caregivers through their journey with a brain tumour in a number of ways:
o Providing connections with others who have faced life with a brain tumour thereby offering reassurance, reducing feelings of isolation and reinforcing a positive, hopeful attitude.
o Sharing practical information to: help make informed decisions about brain tumour treatment options; to learn about relevant community resources; and enhance coping skills in order to reduce anxiety, feelings of loss of control and fear of the unknown, changes in family roles, and financial strain as a result of a brain tumour diagnosis.
