Events and Support Groups
In many of our offices each month you’ll find a number of different support groups, each of which has a different focus. Because schedules change due to inclimate weather or other unforseen circumstances, you are strongly encouraged to call ahead in order to ensure that a group will be meeting as planned. Here is a list of scheduled events and support activities: Support_Groups
