Video Chat
Joining a video chat is easy, and is a safe and accessible way to keep in touch and feel connected with other people who understand the issues you are facing.
There are separate video chats for people affected by acute and chronic conditions, so if you have been recently diagnosed with, or are recovering from GBS, CIDP, or one of the associated inflammatory neuropathies, see below to find the right session for you.
Video chats are now hosted on Zoom. If you have any issues accessing Zoom, please contact the office.
