Support group

So Message from mom.

Okay, support group is the next string.

I'm kind of tired of this line.

Oh.

This one girl and possibly her friend has favor with this one Caucasian therapist.

She attended a support group where about 10 people were sitting in a circle.

It was nighttime because there was a few lamps in the room.

People in the group could take time in the group to discuss personal issues.

My name is Sheryl Crow and I am passionate about helping people navigate real life with arthritis beyond joint pain.

I've been living with rheumatoid arthritis for 20 years, and I'm also a mom, occupational therapist, video creator, support group leader, and I created the Room to Thrive self-management program.

I am so excited to help you live a more empowered life with arthritis.

We're going to cover everything from kitchen life hacks to navigating the healthcare system to coping with friends who just don't get it.

This is a really special episode.

So this episode is a celebration of the five-year anniversary of the Room to Thrive support program.

So I'm recording this in May of 2025, and I first started my very, very first support group program and course there.

in May of 2020.

I'm the Managing Director of Marang Career Information Centre.

Marang established a a unit called Book Reading Club in 2018 that was inspired by orphans and vulnerable children who usually come for a support group meeting.

And this way it started until today it got turned to a book reading club.

A lot of people don't check their ketones.

We're going to have our first ketone support group this week in my office.

It's going to be local.

We had one for our members online, and it was actually a great success.

The more insulin resistant that you are, the longer that it's going to take.

But again, if you're on insulin, you should work with your doctor to try to get that down.

So we are going to have our first in-house ketone support group this Thursday, so I'm looking forward to that, keep you informed of that.

I have some good upcoming interviews.
