Your involvement is Needed!
Our support group provides the much needed support, education and advocacy for families to discover that they are not alone...that the intense feelings and situations are faced by other families like their own. And to share the triumphs and joys that their relatives and friends cannot always fully understand.
In order for our group to grow and continue to offer this much needed support, education and advocacy, we need volunteers who can spend 3-5 hours a month facilitating meetings, maintaining our website and helping plan events. Email us If you are interested in helping.
