AFE Foundation Support Groups

Nov 5, 2015 | Resources

Welcome to our Support Groups!

The introduction of technology and social media has allowed those affected by AFE the ability to connect and communicate with others from all over the world. We offer several groups on Facebook for those affected by AFE to share and seek comfort from one another. The support groups are described below. If you are not a member of Facebook and would like to connect with others, please contact us.

 

For privacy & protection, we require you to request membership by contacting our organization. Recently, Facebook changed Group settings and therefore we can no longer reach those requesting to join through FB Messenger. Please send your request to amy@afesupport.org and let us know why you are interesting in joining.
