Statewide Community Groups

Support groups for patients and caregivers are excellent forums for sharing information and receiving emotional support.

Qualified professionals lead each group and often include speakers who focus on all aspects of the disease. 

 **Updated March 18, 2020: Please note that until further notice all Community Groups will be held virtually. For specific information about dates, times, and call in information for your local group, please refer to the informational list below or visit our Facebook page. **
