Scoliosis Support Group for Adults

A Space to Connect, Share, and Heal

Scoliosis isn’t just about curves in the spine — it’s about the emotional toll it can take, especially when you feel like no one around you truly understands what you’re going through.

In honour of Scoliosis Awareness Month, STC Therapy is offering weekly virtual support groups throughout the month of June for adults living with scoliosis.

Whether you’re dealing with:

  • Chronic pain or fatigue

  • Negative body image

  • Anxiety or frustration with treatment

  • Feelings of loneliness or being misunderstood

…you are not alone.

This group is for YOU if…

  • You’re an adult living with scoliosis (whether newly diagnosed or long-term)

  • You’ve ever felt isolated, judged, or “different”

  • You want to connect with people who actually get it

  • You’re looking for emotional support, practical strategies, and genuine connection

  • You want a cost-effective alternative to individual therapy

  • You’re ready to start healing — from the inside out

Why join a Support group?

Support groups offer a unique kind of healing that individual therapy sometimes can’t.
Here’s what you’ll gain:

✅ Validation – Hear “me too” from people who understand
✅ Connection – Build friendships and reduce isolation
✅ Emotional Support – Share and process your experiences
✅ Guidance – Learn tools to manage stress, shame, anxiety, and self-criticism
✅ Affordability – Access support without the high cost of 1:1 therapy
✅ Empowerment – Discover you’re more than your spine

You don’t need to explain your pain or defend your experience — you just need to show up as you are.

Each 60-minute weekly Zoom session is semi-structured, meaning you’ll have:

  • A focused discussion theme each week (Get to know the group, body image, navigating emotions, and pain)

  • Opportunities to share your story or simply listen — no pressure

  • Simple self-reflection tools, mindfulness prompts, or journaling activities, and worksheets

  • A supportive community, led by a scoliosis-informed Registered Psychotherapist
