Family and Community Services provides a variety of supportive services, including peer support and a wide variety of health education offerings, for people who are living with specific chronic illnesses. Services are provided on an individual basis or in group settings. All services are centered on each individual’s needs to support their health and quality of life.
Knowing someone else who is living with a chronic illness can offer tremendous support when faced with fear and isolation. Our trained peer navigators are available to offer care and support as individuals with lived experience begin or re-enter care. Peer support provides a unique level of understanding, as peers can share their stories when faced with similar challenges.
Understanding and maintaining a treatment plan can be very difficult and even overwhelming. Getting accurate and up to date information on medical care can be confusing. Through health education sessions, clients gain a better understanding of their illness, treatment plans and medications. Our trained health educators offer educational sessions individually or in a group setting to best meet each individual’s needs and learning level.
