Online Support Meetings

Our support meetings provide a safe, confidential place where people affected by lymphoma can share their experience, express their thoughts and feelings, gain insight from connecting with others, and get support and information.

What to expect at an Online Support Meeting

Support meetings are hosted on Zoom, last an hour and follow a common structure, including time for everyone to share their experience and feelings about life with lymphoma. 

Meetings are facilitated by Lymphoma Action staff and trained volunteer Online Support Facilitators, who will listen, seek to understand your experience and help address any questions or worries you have. Most support meetings include information about issues of interest and the Charity’s other services and events.
