My father, Joe, and I are looking for a face-to-face peer support group in the Atlanta, Georgia área. Joe fell from a roof 5 yrs ago and is still struggling with recreating/reinventing his life after the fall and subsequent paralysis. He is a paralytic. He has tons of family support but can’t get out from underneath the depression. In a recent frank conversation, he stated that he feels he would benefit from talking to other people that are going through the same thing. This is a milestone because he wasn’t willing to join a peer support group before now.
So, please, help us find a group in or North of Atlanta, Ga.
If he would be open to online group, U Washington Rehab .( sci.washington.edu/) has some great resources. I participated in a research study on line , part of which was a support group. It was the first time I could talk to others in person, on line. they also some some videos on various topics which I found very helpful
