COPD support groups

COPD support groups are gatherings of individuals living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who come together to share experiences, coping strategies, and information. These groups can be in-person or online and offer emotional support, encouragement, and practical advice on managing symptoms, medication, and lifestyle changes. Being part of a support group can reduce feelings of isolation, increase understanding of the condition, and empower members to handle their health more effectively. Healthcare professionals often support these groups to ensure accurate information and help members navigate their COPD journey confidently.
