What is a Support Group?
  • A support group is a self-help group. It is run by and for people who have in common a particular challenge or life situation. Support groups are composed of people with lupus, family members, and/or friends who gather periodically to share common concerns. People are willing to talk freely and to trust openly in the good will of the other group members.
  • A support group is a place to be yourself. The most difficult "step" is walking in the door. The "program" is about making yourself and others feel welcomed and accepted. It means knowing that your privacy and confidentiality will be respected.
  • A support group is a source of information. Its members are a treasury of practical experience! They are also great collectors of articles, newsletters, books, and other information about lupus and they enjoy sharing them with others.
  • A support group is an added circle of friends. Here is the place to talk, laugh, and cry about life with lupus with people who will listen, laugh and cry, too. [This can save much "wear and tear" on family and other relationships!] All and all, it is a safe place for people to learn, share, and help. Individual differences and confidentiality are respected.
  • A support group is not designed to provide professional psychotherapy or counseling.  LFA Support Group facilitators have a desire to help others.  All facilitators have received special LFA training by a professional in how to provide support in a non­threatening environment. Some are trained professionals. 

Confidentiality Rules

  • Although this is not a therapy group, out of respect for participants, confidentiality is a must. All information and dialogue is confidential and shall not be discussed or revealed outside the group.
  • The opinions and statements expressed by the group members or its facilitator do not necessarily reflect the opinions or positions of the Lupus Foundation of America or its affiliated Chapters.
  • LFA, the Chapter, the support group facilitator, nor support group members shall share support group member information with outside organizations, companies, the media, or individuals. Member contact information will only be used to notify an individual of any changes to future support group meeting times and location unless members choose to join the LFA or LFA Chapter mailing and e-newsletter distribution list.
