NeuFriends
Looking for connection and support in your neurological journey?
NeuFriends Neurological Support Groups offer a safe, social and welcoming environment where people impacted by neurological conditions can connect and find comfort, hope and empowerment through shared knowledge, experiences and a sense of community belonging.
Led by volunteer peer support group leaders and assisted by experienced NeuroCare Community Neurological Nurses, who provide invaluable information, advice and practical support, where and when needed, NeuFriends groups help participants overcome challenges and take control of their health and well-being.
NeuFriends is free to attend and open to individuals and their carers impacted by any neurological condition, symptoms or impairment—including FND, headache and migraine, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, stroke, tumours, epilepsy, MS, Parkinson’s, and neuromuscular, neurodegenerative or rare neurological disorders. Come along as a guest to meet members, experience the supportive atmosphere and determine if NeuFriends aligns with your needs and interests. Morning tea is provided, and the group activities may include a mix of group discussions and guest speakers aimed at promoting well-being and resilience.
Joining a neurological peer support group can be transformative for individuals, families and caregivers. Key benefits include:
-
Connection & Belonging: Build friendships, share experiences, and reduce isolation and loneliness.
-
Knowledge & Skills: Learn about conditions, treatments, coping strategies and lifestyle adjustments to improve daily life.
-
Support & Guidance: Access tailored resources, practical help with navigating health and disability systems, and encouragement for caregivers.
-
Health & Wellbeing: Enhance emotional resilience, boost confidence, and improve overall quality of life with insights from health professionals and guest experts.

Testimonials
“Everyone’s different, but they get it. There’s no judgement. It’s real.”
“Meeting others with similar conditions has been so important. We share ideas. We laugh. There’s an understanding in the room — no one has to explain themselves.”
“You hear ideas, you learn from what others are doing — and you don’t feel like the only one.”
