Support Groups
Support Groups Across Canada
People, diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma and their loved ones, often find help through the educational nature of an acoustic neuroma support group. This is a gathering of people wishing to share information and experiences, as well as to learn from medical professionals. Within the safety of a Support Group, many people are able to share their past experience, their fears and concerns about the future and the day-to-day challenges they face. Acoustic Neuroma Support Groups are located across Canada in the cities / regions shown below. For more information on meeting times and locations, please contact the individuals listed below.
Please contact the National Office at 1-800-561-2622 or info@anac.ca to speak with other patients in your region.
