Muscular Dystrophy Canada Support Groups

Muscular Dystrophy Canada support groups enable people with neuromuscular disorders, their families, friends, and any other interested parties to get together for the purpose of supporting each other.

The goal of support groups is to provide support through group interaction.  Because support group members are personally affected with a neuromuscular disorder,  their experiences are a valuable resource. Members bring expertise gained in their own lives and use it to help others identify solutions for their own situation.

Our support group volunteers offer information about resources, tips on coping, and an "understanding ear" to people registered with Muscular Dystrophy Canada, family members or others who are looking for support.

Muscular Dystrophy Canada will assist families in accessing a support group wherever possible. For more information, please contact your Regional Services Director:
