Support Groups
Established Groups
Presently, there are support groups established in several cities across Canada that meet at regular monthly intervals (see the list at right). The meetings answer questions and cover topics of interest to hemochromatosis sufferers and their families and often include guest speakers.
The forum section of this web site also functions as a support group for the people who visit it. Exchanges of information and personal experiences make this a wonderful alternative for people who can't, for whatever reason, get to meetings in person.
