Long-COVID Peer Support Group

Recovery from Coronavirus (COVID-19) is different for everyone. Though most people will recover within 12 weeks, for some the effects last much longer. COVID recovery can include symptoms that can last weeks or months after infection has gone. This is sometimes called Long Covid.

If you are experiencing Long Covid, join our fortnightly meetings and talk to others who have experience of the condition. This group isn’t ran by WDP, but it takes place at the Centre for Independent Living.

My Life Tool

In 2019 Teeside University worked with a group of people with long-term conditions and Neuro Key, to develop a new self-management tool for people with long-term conditions, called MyLifeTool, www.mylifetool.co.uk. The tool has been used by people with a range of long-term conditions across the UK with positive results. MyLifeTool has been be adapted to provide an effective, low-cost approach to supporting the psychosocial needs of people living with Long Covid.

Meetings

We hold fortnightly meetings where those with Long Covid can meet others with similar experiences and get help dealing with the effects of the condition.
