Rare Connections:Virtual Patient & Caregiver Support Groups

Beginning in June, Rare New England has created a new program, “Virtual Patient & Caregiver Support Groups”, to provide opportunities for adult patients and for caregivers to come together and share their experiences with others facing similar challenges. In this atmosphere, attendees learn from each other and feel supported by people who understand, thus leaving each meeting with feelings of hope. These hour-long sessions are moderated by a trained member of RNE who follows a guideline prepared specifically for this program.Register and learn more here: Rare Connections - Support Groups (rarenewengland.org)
