This is an ongoing weekly therapy/support group for people living with physical illness starting in the spring of 2010 run by Dr. David B. Younger, licensed psychologist and group therapist, specializing in working with people with physical illnesses and their loved ones.

I decided to start the group because I know that there are a lot of people out there, like myself, who are suffering from an autoimmune illness. I think that this group would benefit from being able to share with others and help them to deal with their everyday obstacles in life. Not everyone can understand what a person with an autoimmune illness experiences on a daily basis, unless he or she has been diagnosed with one. People should join this group to encourage others to be positive and to he …

Anyone with chronic pain or disease is certainly welcome to join. We all need a support system!  If you are looking to make new friends that you can share y …

This is a group for anyone who has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and wants to live well while receiving support and information. After "suffering" and "surviving" this misunderstood illness for over 20 years, I would love to meet with and help others who are looking to connect, share and support each other in a positive and uplifting way!
