Explore the scleroderma support groups offered by SABC, led by trained volunteers many of whom are themselves living with scleroderma. These spaces foster mutual support and provide strategies for managing life with the disease, welcoming newly diagnosed individuals, long-standing people with scleroderma, or caregivers.
Sessions focus on validated information about symptoms and treatments aim to strengthen your support network and enhance daily management of scleroderma. They assist in confidently navigating the disease’s complexities.
While providing emotional support and facilitating the exchange of experiences, our groups do not substitute for professional medical advice. Promoting treatments not approved by scleroderma specialists is prohibited, underscoring our commitment to practices validated by recognized experts.
The Scleroderma Association of B.C. strongly believes in the merits of support groups. Support group meetings create an environment conducive to discussions by providing a safe place where people affected by the disease and their caregivers can give and receive practical and emotional support.
