What can a TAI support group do for me?
Talking with someone who has gone through the same kind of experience as you, or faces the same challenges in their daily life can be reassuring. Those who attend support groups often find they learn new techniques to overcoming both mental and physical challenges and it can be a rewarding experience!
This may even lead to a better understanding of yourself. When you are discharged with TAI, you may feel a little lost – especially while you are getting used to your new daily routine. In addition to seeking guidance from your healthcare provider and Coloplast Care Advisor, attending a TAI support group on a regular basis can help you better understand yourself and allow you to process the changes in your life.
Moreover, you can also share your successes with others who may benefit from hearing about your experiences.
