SUMMARY:Exploring the need for an English language Support Group in Quebec
DESCRIPTION:The Quebec French-speaking support group (Groupe de Soutien Francophone) has been thriving for many years under the leadership of Danielle and Paul. They have done a tremendous job supporting and connecting French-speaking WMers across Quebec. \n\nIt has been brought to our attention that there may be a need for a support group specifically for English-speaking WMers in Quebec. If there is sufficient interest\, we would like to explore the possibility of establishing an English-speaking Quebec support group. \n\nTracey Berg and Raffaela Mercurio\, co-leaders of support groups in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and Toronto as well as WMFC Board Members and co-chairs of Membership Services\, work to support and connect support group leaders and WMers across Canada. As individuals living with Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia themselves\, their experiences have inspired them to help others connect\, share\, and feel supported throughout their WM journey. \n\nFor now\, they would take on the role of co-leaders\, with the expectation that\, over time\, a couple of WMers in Quebec will volunteer to help lead the group. The goal is simply to connect with more WMers and build a supportive community where people can share experiences\, ask questions\, and support one another. \n\nMeetings will be held virtually via Zoom\, making it easy to participate without the need to travel.\n\nIf you have never attended a support group before\, this is a wonderful opportunity to:\n*Share experiences and learn from others\n*Ask questions\n*Connect with other people living with Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia\n*Build friendships and a sense of community\n*Participate in a welcoming\, supportive\, and understanding environment\n\n\nSave the Date!\nTuesday\, September 8th from 7:00-8:30pm\nThe Zoom link will be sent to participants a few days before the meeting. \n\nNot a WMFC Member?\nIf you are not yet a member of the Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia Foundation of Canada (WMFC)\, please visit our membership page to join and receive information about this meeting\, upcoming events\, and other WMFC news.\nhttps://www.wmfc.ca/membership/ \nWe look forward to connecting with WMers across Quebec and perhaps building this new English-speaking support community together! \n\n\n\nPlease reach out to Tracey or Raffaela with any thoughts\, questions\, or concerns.\nTracey Berg
