Vasculitis Foundation Support Meetings

The Vasculitis Foundation (VF) offers online support group meetings for people with vasculitis and their families. VF online support meetings are led by a facilitator and a VF staff person.

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.

Vasculitis Voices

Online Chat Community
We know that if you or someone you love is living with vasculitis it can be challenging, and finding connections with others who have “been in your shoes” can be just as tough. We’ve partnered with Inspire to create a safe and secure online community, so you can find the support and answers you or a loved one need when you need it most.

VF Affiliated Support Groups

The VF works with volunteers to assist in building in-person and virtual support groups around the world. These affiliated groups follow the Vasculitis Foundation support group guidelines including non-solicitation. Some VF affiliated support groups are open to anyone with vaculitis while others support people in a specific geographic location or a specific demographic such as a type of vasculitis.
