We care about your health and the health of our staff and volunteers. We also know that connection with your fellow lupus warriors is important, especially in a time of social distancing. We are moving support groups to be virtual. See below for more details as we launch a large number of new groups!.
Support Groups: Opportunities for information exchange and emotional support, all facilitated by a trained volunteer and fellow lupus warrior.
While we are virtual for now, each of our support groups has a geographic target area. Please contact the facilitator in your area for more information about our April/May virtual plans and to be updated when we are able to host groups in person.
