Support Groups provide a forum to share feelings,
concerns, information, and as well as a place
to offer peer support and encouragement. Solicitations
or research projects are not conducted at support
group meetings.
Support groups often feature speakers specializing
in scleroderma or related topics. To find out
information about upcoming speakers or meeting
topics, please contact the support group leader
or chapter office.
This schedule is subject to change. Before attending
a group for the first time, please call to verify
date and time. Groups are free of charge and open
to everyone.
For more information about support groups or if you are interested in forming a support group, contact Peggy Levengood or Doreen Towhey at (770) 925-7037.
