Chronic Pain and Illness Support

Do you struggle with chronic illness or pain? Join us  for a live, online support group that is available year-round on Thursdays at 11AM EST and Fridays at 1PM EST. New support group members are invited to join the group at the beginning of each month.

Sales have ended for this month, but our chronic pain and illness support groups run year round. New participants are invited to join in at the beginning of each month. Check out our event's page to register for next month!

Do you struggle with the daily hardship of living with chronic illness or chronic pain? Do you feel misunderstood by your family, church body, or friends? Do you wonder if God has forgotten you? Perhaps you are experiencing a depth or type of suffering that is difficult for you to explain and hard for people in your life to understand. Maybe you feel abandoned. Perhaps you wonder if God is listening. You might be surrounded by supportive people, but still long to talk to someone who truly understands what you are going through. If you can relate to any of these experiences, consider joining a supportive group of fellow travelers. In this group, you will be truly seen, known, and understood in your suffering. You will be reminded that you are not alone and encouraged that God has not forgotten you. You will experience a refreshing taste of the community that may be missing in your life. Support Group DetailsJoin biblical counselor, Kate Brooks, for a live, online support group that is available year-round on Thurdays at 11AM EST. Each week will be structured around a different prompt, helping you to talk through your suffering from a variety of helpful perspectives. Meetings may include times of discussion, Scripture reading, and praying for each other. Support Group ScheduleNew support group members are invited to join the group at the beginning of each month. To join the support group, you can purchase a one month, two month, or three month pass. While the group is available year-round, there is no commitment to the group beyond the time frame of your pass. Once your pass expires, you can determine if you would like to continue and purchase a new pass if desired. Support Group Cost Our support groups are a great option for people who are looking for help but are unable to afford the cost of individual counseling. A one month pass typically includes 4 group meetings and can be purchased for $60 (plus fees).A two month pass typically includes 8 group meetings and can be purchased at a discount for $110 (plus fees).A three month pass typically includes 12 group meetings and can be purchased at a further discount for $144 (plus fees).On rare occasions, there will only be three support group meetings in a month due to holidays or other scheduling reasons. Other months, there may be five support group meetings. The price will remain the same for these months. A Few More DetailsSpace is limited to the first 12 people to register for each month. Please note that your email will be shared with a small group of other current group members to simplify group communication and to allow for discussion between group meetings. ***FAQ1. Do I have to commit to attending the group year around? When you register, you can decide if you would like to purchase a one month, two month, or three month pass. Once your pass expires, you can determine if you would like to continue with the group. If you want to continue, you can purchase a new pass. Registration information for purchasing continued passes will be provided to you at the end of each month you attend the group. 2. Are there any attendance requirements? We recommend you be available for at least two of the meetings each month. However, we also understand that pain and other symptoms may prevent you from attending at the last minute, and there are no attendance requirements. 3. What kind of discussions can I expect?Our discussions will be based around a short prompt that will help you look at your story from a different vantage point. These prompts may require minimal optional reading (like reading a poem, for example), but there will be no significant work outside of the support group. You can expect questions like:- &quot;Who or what have you found to be most comforting in the midst of your suffering, and why?&quot;- &quot;What character in the Bible do you most identify with, and why?&quot;- &quot;What song or hymn has ministered most to you, and why?&quot;4. Are video recordings of the meetings included? Group members will not receive recordings of the meetings. We want to offer as much confidentiality as is possible in an online group setting, and recordings could compromise the privacy of group members. 5. Are you able to offer refunds? We are not able to offer refunds. 6. What type of people attend this group? All sorts of people! Both men and women attend this group. The age of members ranges from young to old (you must be at least 18 years old to attend). Whether you have been given a diagnoses or not, struggled for a few weeks or a few decades . . . you are welcome!Further Questions and DisclosuresIf your question is not answered in the FAQs above, feel free to reach out to kate@christiantraumacounseling.com.
