CONNECT. SUPPORT. THRIVE.
SAF invites you to attend our regular virtual support group meetings. The virtual support group meetings are very popular and evolved from in-person meetings during the recent pandemic. Participation continues to grow with new sign ups every month. Meetings are held monthly and participants range from newly diagnosed to longtime members and everyone in between. We meet virtually on zoom and then break up into small groups depending on the number of people.
Thank you for this new format and monthly offering. Three months is definitely too long between groups, and especially if you have to miss one. I liked the idea of a breakout group, it makes the discussion more personable and manageable.
Congratulations on your first international monthly Zoom call. All of the beginning intro and excitement from the med students about going to Capitol Hill, and what is upcoming was impressive.
Terrific meeting! It was fantastic to hear from Debra, Jean and others from CARF, as well as from the medical students (what a great idea to include them!) on the advocacy and other work going on behind the scenes. I liked the breakout rooms to keep the number of participants manageable, and our facilitator kept the conversation flowing. Thanks again for a terrific presentation, and I look forward to next month’s meeting!
I want tell you how grateful I am that SAF listened to our needs and is giving monthly support group meetings a try. I SO appreciate the more frequent meetings and the opportunity to meet more people who are going through the ups and downs of scarring alopecia, to gain more knowledge through other people’s experience, and to just connect.
