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.
