Support Groups

Volunteer-led support groups enable individuals with scleroderma to meet and exchange information with others who face similar challenges. Support group leaders are trained with a comprehensive program developed with our partners at SPIN (Scleroderma Patient-centered Network). Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, our support groups are meeting virtually. In addition to our local support groups, there are Foundation-affiliated support groups around the country. To access more information about any of our support groups, visit Find a Support Group and search based on your zip code and topics.
