You are not alone – continence, bladder and bowel support groups
Continence support groups
Many people with bladder and bowel conditions find it helpful to share experiences and learn how others have coped with their situation. There are many support organisations and charities that provide phone support and online resources to help you.
It's up to you how you become involved. Some people like the anonymity of the web while others prefer phone or face to face support. The following list of organisations provide support. Coloplast and Coloplast Charter are also ready to answer any questions you may have on bladder management products.
