Get Support – Facing the challenge together

Support Groups For You

Heartbeats support groups are held in a community centre NEAR YOU. Groups are diverse, friendly, and informal. They are lead, by a local, qualified Heartbeats member who is part of the local community culture, and who is passionate about helping that community of heart survivors.

Heartbeats provides direct, personal support through their regular, monthly, online HeartZOOM meetings, with guest speakers from the health profession: doctors, cardiac nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, health psychologists, and others who work with heart patients.

Heartbeats provides online one-on-one counselling by professionally qualified psychologists, mind-body counsellors, dietitians, and exercise physiologists.

We also provide face-face group counselling with professionally qualified psychologists, at significantly discounted rates.

Heartbeats has a 24/7 helpline. Just call 022 0606 199 to talk or get help in finding where to go to get professional, qualified, and personal help.

A big thanks for the online group meeting with the cardiologist guest speaker. It was very informative. Our friends were very happy to have been able to join in.

Prior to Heartbeats, there was no support for heart survivors in our area. I am very thankful for having found this community group.

The monthly meetings are extremely beneficial and informative, We have much-needed support, personally on any issues that may arise outside of these meetings.

As a stranger to any health issues, the whole journey has been somewhat daunting, with unknowns and scary stuff.
I am so pleased that Heartbeats are here as a driving force: organizing, facilitating and helping guide us, so that we can all become more educated and aware of the things that are important: it really does make a difference.

At Heartbeats I found people who had faced similar challenges, heard how they surmounted them, and they helped me gain the confidence needed to seek help rather than accept how things were. Joining Heartbeats turned things around for me, and it is great to be enjoying life again

I think we all have learned for ourselves, or to help others. Having a rehab group for us all is fabulous. It is this aspect of ‘post heart/hospital’ which I was desperate to find and previously had no luck.
