Regionally Hosted Virtual and In Person Lupus Support Groups
Support groups are safe and supportive group environments where lupus patients and their friends come together to share their concerns and hopes, as well as their personal experiences in managing their disease and symptoms . Group members collectively decide how often to meet, what discussion topics to address or guest speakers to invite. Most of our Support Groups are continuing to meet virtually over Zoom with a few trying to return to In Person. Click on the support group that best matches your interest or time and sign up! All attendees must sign up to receive the zoom link.
