Support groups are a great place to meet others, share and learn more about disease management. Our groups are a safe place for you to feel less isolated and alone! Leaders create a safe environment for everyone to share, lean on and move forward.
If you are interested in joining an existing group or starting one in your city/town, or would like information on how to start a group in your city/town, email support@spondylitis.ca
We have recently started “virtual” group meetings to support Canadians across the country. Meetings are capped at 10 people so don’t delay registering. We have a waitlist for each meeting. With growing interest in meeting with others virtually we will expand the option as we are able.
In addition to in-person and most recently virtual support groups, we have an active and engaged Facebook community. We welcome and encourage you to become active with what suits your needs!
COVID-19 Update:
The Canadian Spondylitis Association cares about your health and the health of your loved ones. In attempt to flatten the curve of the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the CSA is taking measures suggested by federal and provincial health officials to suspend public gatherings until further notice.
If you are in need of support – please reach out to your group leader or contact the CSA by email at support@spondylitis.ca
