Well Spouse in-person support groups are the preferred means of support for Well Spouse members. They are run by WSA members who volunteer their time in this position to give back to others. Being a group leader can be as much support for you as you are giving to the group. If you don't have an established group in your area, consider forming one. You will receive a leader's guide, help, and support from the Well Spouse office in getting your group off the ground and keeping it going. Start a new support group today! <Click here> |
