New Lupus Support Group in East Chicago

Lupus-Foundation-IndianaThe Indiana Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America is happy to announce the addition of a new support group in East Chicago, Indiana. Beginning on Wednesday, June 18, a ‘Living with Lupus' Support Group will be held monthly on the third Wednesday of the month from 6:30-8:30 pm. The meetings will be held at St. Catherine Hospital, Professional Office Building Conference Room, 4321 Fir Street.

The philosophy of LFA support groups is to provide a warm and caring environment where people with lupus, their family members, caregivers, and loved ones can share their experiences, methods of coping, and insights into living with lupus. LFA support groups encourage and accept people as they are and provide a comfortable learning environment to help them develop the best coping strategies to reduce stress that often accompanies living with a chronic illness.
