As always, Zoe was a fantastic facilitator. She's great at listening, re-phrasing what people said, keep conversation going, and managing time.

LOVE Zoe! She's so good at boiling down what each person says, and she does it in a way that's not intrusive or keeping others from talking. Plus, she's just such a genuinely nice person. ❤️

I'm so glad Zoe is back! (I didn't ask, but I hope everything is okay.) She is an expert at getting folks to open up, giving people space, not interrupting but adding relevant bits of info or support, etc. I really like the weeks when she is our facilitator. :)

The Center for Chronic Illness (CCI) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization promoting well-being and decreasing isolation for those impacted by ongoing health challenges through support and education. CCI offers free, peer support groups facilitated by licensed mental health professionals and Master's level mental health interns. CCI's programs are designed to bring people together who live with different types of health challenges and diagnoses, recognizing the shared emotional experience of many who are impacted by chronic illness.
