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.
