Support group details

Group Description
Crohn's and Colitis Australia Support Groups are mutual aid groups, which means that all of the members of the group, including the facilitator are impacted by Crohn's or ulcerative colitis (IBD) in some way. Support Group meetings provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals impacted by IBD can express themselves openly and receive support and understanding from others with similar experiences.
