Come join us at the HEART TO HEART support group!
A heart disease diagnosis can feel like a heavy weight on your shoulders.
Whether you're the one diagnosed or caring for a loved one, the journey ahead can feel uncertain, lonely, and overwhelming. But you don’t have to walk this path alone.
At the Manx Heart Foundation’s HEART TO HEART Support Group, we’re here to listen,
to share, and to help you navigate through this new chapter in your life.
We have a table at the Aqua Café at the NSC every Wednesday at 2PM.
If you’d like more information – email us info@manxheartfoundation.com
or message us via Facebook.
We’re always happy to welcome new faces!
Mission
Our group is a safe space for individuals who are newly diagnosed with heart disease, as well as those who are caring
for someone who is.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to adjust to new health realities, and we want to offer a sense of community and belonging.
Whether you need someone to talk to, a place to share your fears, or simply some guidance on how to manage the emotional and physical challenges of heart disease, we’re here for you.
Why join us
-
Support and Understanding: Connect with others who truly understand what you’re going through. Sometimes, the best way to cope is to talk with someone who’s been there, or who is going through it too.
-
Learn from Each Other: Sharing experiences and tips for managing both the emotional and physical aspects of heart disease can help you feel more empowered and less isolated.
-
Offer Help, Offer Hope: If you’ve lived with heart disease, your experiences and insights can be a source of hope and strength for others who are newly diagnosed. You can make a difference in someone’s life just by listening and sharing what’s helped you.
Who can join
-
Those Newly Diagnosed: If you've recently received a heart disease diagnosis, join us to learn about the resources, coping strategies, and lifestyle changes that can help you feel more in control.
-
Caregivers: If you’re caring for someone with heart disease, come for emotional support, advice on caregiving, and a place to share your own challenges and triumphs.

Experienced Warriors: If you've been living with heart disease for a while and want to help others by offering your advice, encouragement, and support, we welcome you with open arms!
What to expect
