Hi Janine,

We would like to let your forum members know of our evidenced based group in Brisbane, which is modelled on the work of Dr David Spiegel, and is similar to the one in Melbourne run by Chris and Fiona.

The Group is funded by Queensland Health, and is open to all women in Queensland, using live face-to-face groups and via teleconference link. This means that we can have a group with women in the room from Brisbane, as well as women ringing in from regional and remote areas throughout the state.

We have recently launched a web site about the service, (thank you for putting us in your resources thread)

www.advancedbreastcancergroup.org

We too have found strong evidence confirming the benefits of being in the group, including a decrease in feelings of isolation, anxiety and depression, and an increase in positive feelings, for example joy and contentment, as well as a greater sense of participation and choice in treatment. There are several studies and presentations on the site that can be downloaded as a pdf from this link;

Our group is also a long term group, meeting weekly, run by experienced group psychotherapists. For more information please go to the web site, or contact Pia or Mary at
