Hendricks Regional Health is proud to facilitate and host a variety of support groups for the community. Groups are designed to provide a supportive environment with opportunities to come together for sharing and learning. All groups are free to participants and registration is not required. Unless noted otherwise, all groups meet at the Hendricks Regional Health Danville Hospital.

Improve Your Mood Support Group

Mood regulation issues do not discriminate. Many of us struggle with sadness, loneliness, anxiety, loss of interest in activities, low energy, and mood fluctuations.

Food for Thought Stroke, TBI, and Neurological Disorder Support Group

Learning to live with the results of a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurological disorder can be frustrating and overwhelming.

The group welcomes all who are affected by these conditions and is facilitated by Chaplaincy and Social Services.
