Support Group Meetings

We hold a Support Group Meeting every first Tuesday of the month at the local Red Cross Rooms in Bannister Street, Masterton (opposite Police Station). This starts at 1:30pm and goes for about 1.5 hours. We finish with afternoon tea, and many find the social interaction quite encouraging with people who have similar situations. Attendance is free and informal.
