Hosted by Alexa – First Sunday of the month at 12:00pm ET. This group brings much needed targeted support for the younger demographic who are hit with this disease at a time when they are still trying to figure themselves out and making plans for their future — often being forced to pivot in their career and life goals. Sessions are one hour and open to patients under 30, and their caregivers. 

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

● As a support group member, you will be privileged with knowing the names of others in the group. Please do not seek out any information about group members or contact them outside of the group without receiving permission from them first. If you are comfortable being contacted by others feel free to express that by either stating they can send you a private message, or by sharing your contact information, in the main Zoom chat.
● We have a private Facebook page for our groups that members can choose to participate in. You are not required to participate in the Facebook group; however, if you want to, it is a good way to indicate your interest in connecting with other group members.
