The Center for Chronic Illness was founded in 2016, with the goal of filling a needed social service gap in the community and providing free, professional, emotional support to those impacted by chronic illness. The organization has now grown to offer nine, ongoing, free, monthly support groups facilitated by licensed mental health professionals. Our support groups are held across the greater Seattle area as well as via the web on the Support Groups Central platform - https://www.supportgroupscentral.com/CCI. The organization hopes to continue to grow in our supportive and educational program offerings both for those impacted by chronic illness as well as for healthcare professionals.
