VCFSEF Support Groups & Contacts in the United States
The support groups listed were established to aid parents & family members in
learning about and dealing with and the many facets of caring for a person with
Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome. The groups are educational and supportive in
nature ONLY. They are NOT medical service providers, nor do they provide
medical advice or opinion. Medical advice should be obtained ONLY
from a qualified medical professional.
If the support group or person you choose does not have knowledge of
qualified medical professionals in your area who are familiar with VCFS, please
contact the Foundation Office and
we will attempt to assist you. Support Group information is updated regularly.
If you do not find a support group near you, please
contact the Foundation Office and will try
to locate a contact.
