Recovery Peer Support Groups

We have a FREE peer-led support group up and running, created for anyone navigating recovery from CFS/ME, long COVID, Fibromyalgia, POTS, Chronic Pain and related conditions.

This is a monthly online group, held in a gentle, non-judgemental space. People attending are at different stages – from newly ill to further along in recovery. Everyone is welcome.

We come together to share stories, reflect on our journeys, and hold space for one another. The group is not therapy, but a space for connection, insight, and hope. It really helps to feel less lonely and celebrate successes.

How It Works

  • We meet on the first Friday of every month at 5-6pm GMT via Google Meet

  • The group is peer-led – not facilitated by professionals

  • You can come just as you are – camera off, lying down, no pressure to speak

Group Agreements

These help guide expectations and keep the space safe for everyone.

  • We speak from personal experience, not authority

  • We don’t make declarations about other people’s symptoms, causes or paths

  • We offer support, not solutions, unless someone directly asks for guidance

  • Recoverees may share recovery approaches only when invited by the person seeking help

  • We stay curious rather than prescriptive

  • We gently remind each other of these agreements when needed

Our Guiding Principles

  • Trigger Warnings – please gently flag before sharing traumatic content

  • Emotional Safety – we listen without fixing or judging

  • Recovery-Minded – we protect grounded hope and avoid messaging that recovery isn't possible

  • Open Conversation – it’s okay if you don’t feel good about the idea of recovery yet, as long as you're open to others exploring it

  • Lived Experience Only – we share from our own journeys, knowing that no one path fits all
