Support Groups

Support Group President Carolyn Raville and I have been wanting to add this list of post-polio support groups to our website for some time, due to the number of requests Carolyn gets for support group information.  We will concentrate primarily on Florida groups in the beginning, but we will include what other groups we have, no matter where they are.  

There are certainly more groups than we have here, but we will add them in time.  If you don't see your group here, please submit it to Carolyn Raville, North Central Florida Post-Polio Support Group, 7180 SW 182nd Court, Dunnellon, FL 34432 or email CarolynPPS@GMail.com. Please include your group leader's name and how to contact them.
  
If you are looking for a group for the first time, we recommend you begin with a group nearest to you.  If that group is not to your liking, don't write all groups off, because each group is a little different from the next.  Some groups are more "social" while others are more "educational."

This service will remain FREE and will be updated frequently.  We do not endorse or promote any particular support group or style over another.  --Steve McMahan
