Many people have recovered from their initial bout with COVID-19, but continue to experience lingering symptoms months later. It can be a struggle and result in a host of issues, from the disruption of work routines and lack of social interaction, to financial stress and even skepticism from family and friends. For some, months of illness can contribute to anxiety and depression.

This support group provides a safe, supportive environment for COVID survivors to share their experiences and coping tools, and gives them a means to exchange tips for managing both mental and physical symptoms. Just the validation itself – hearing that you’re not alone – is helpful for many people!

The weekly group is led by an experienced therapist in a socially distanced group setting. Masks are required.
