Remember—You are not alone!
While we focus on the emotional impact on scleroderma patients, it’s important to remember that our partners, families and friends are also affected.
Patients, caregivers, family members, friends, and supporters are ALL WELCOME and encouraged to attend this virtual meeting, share your perspective and learn from others.
Whether facing a new diagnosis, or dealing with the ongoing challenges of scleroderma, learning from each other will help us better cope, increase our resilience and make us a stronger community.
Questions about the Support Group? Contact Debbie Robitaille, Volunteer Support Group Coordinator, at 204 396-2336 or email drobit@hotmail.ca.
