Support GroupsDiabetes Support Group
Prevea Endocrinology would like to introduce a new monthly support group that focuses on dealing with diabetes. The group will be open to anyone in the Sheboygan community with diabetes and members of this confidential group will determine goals and guidelines. The purpose of the group will be to:
•Enlighten each other on treatments and practices
•Provide resources and education with guest speakers
•Offer support and an open forum to discuss stressors
•Suggest successful tactics that may help others
Diabetes is a disease that affects many areas of a person's daily life and group support can bring ideas to improve management, or provide an outlet for frustrations. Meeting with other patients who share similar experiences can be helpful for coping with this chronic disease.
This support group meets the first Thursday of each month. Pre-registration is encouraged but not required.Experiencing Grief Support Group
Grief is a feeling of distress caused by separation, or loss...the loss of a loved one...the loss of a job...loss of a lifelong dream...and more.
Our grief group is not limited to anyone for any reason, but more inclusive of anyone who experiences any type of grief. Hope After Loss Organization - HALO Support Group
When babies come into our lives and are too quickly and quietly gone, they leave lasting footprints on our hearts. At St. Nicholas Hospital, we believe those lives are precious and should be honored and remembered no matter how brief their life was. HALO is a Pregnancy Loss and Newborn Death Support Program created to support parents and their families in whatever stage of pregnancy loss they find themselves; miscarriage, ectopic, stillbirth, or early newborn death. The HALO support group meets the first Thursday of the month at St. Nicholas Hospital. For more information about this program, please contact 920-457-5770, and ask to speak to a HALO representative.
