Nobody in our community needs to go it alone. One of the core parts of the National Scleroderma Foundation’s mission is to provide support and education to people living with scleroderma, and their families and loved ones.
The National Scleroderma Foundation Tri-State Chapter hosts the following chapter support groups:
- Connecticut Support Group (Hybrid)
- Metro NY Area, Long Island, Bergen County & Northern New Jersey (Virtual)
- Orange County (NY) (Virtual)
- Rochester (In-Person)
Below, find links the Foundation’s national support groups and peer-mentor program.
The National Scleroderma Foundation has gathered a number of resources, from information sheets to video lectures, that can help patients better understand the symptoms related to scleroderma, as well as the research that is happening to search for treatments and a cure.
Chapters are the front line of contact between individuals affected by scleroderma and the National Scleroderma Foundation. They know the individuals in their community. The chapter embodies the strength of the scleroderma community. Each chapter plays an essential role in delivering the organization’s mission.
