The Vasculitis Foundation (VF) offers virtual support group meetings for people with vasculitis and their families. VF virtual support meetings are led by a facilitator and a VF staff member. Registration is required, and we ask that you only attend one support group meeting each week as spots are limited. 

The VF also supports a number of affiliated support groups.  VF affiliated groups may meet either in-person or virtually and are run by volunteers from the vasculitis community. 

All VF support meetings provide a positive, supportive forum where participants can share their challenges, celebrate their achievements, and learn from others how to navigate this disease.
