  • Are you part of a support group? If so, how do they help?

    Having a support group or a supportive network can be very beneficial. It can be the difference between having a good day and having a great day. I don’t necessarily have a support group but I have an extremely supportive family and friends that have always been extremely reliable when I called on them for help or assistance.

    I am part of a support group, and yes the group makes a big difference in my life.  Although we have not been able to meet since the pandemic, there are some members I can call when I am experiencing the blues.  It is good to meet other people with sickle cell.  They are the only people who can really understand because they are going to the same thing.  When I call them, they encourage me, giving me tips on how to cope.  I think being part of a group can have very positive impact on one’s life.
