Specific Topic Support Groups
ThyCa has specific topic support groups that meet regularly via Zoom or other online discussion tools. These groups are free and open to anyone affected by the topic. These groups may also provide support by phone and email.
General Support Groups
You’re welcome to participate in any support group meetings, even if you don’t live near where that group normally meets. Attend whenever you are available and when you need support. However, there are benefits of attending a support group in your geographic area—members have experience with local medical institutions and health professionals, and many groups will have several in-person gatherings during the year.
Click here for a printable list of all groups that hold virtual meetings sorted by when they meet. Note that sometimes groups change their schedules for a given month because of holidays, etc. Therefore, you should check the group’s web page each month to confirm a given meeting.
All groups are listed below with one of the following codes to identify how they provide support.
