The following support groups have been established to aid parents and family
members in dealing with and learning about the many facets of caring for a
person affected with Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome. They are educational and
supportive in nature and are NOT medical service providers, nor do they give
medical advice or opinion. Medical advice should be obtained ONLY from a
competent medical professional. If the coordinator of your support group does
not have knowledge of competent medical professionals in your area who are
familiar with VCFS, please
contact the
Foundation Office and we will attempt to direct you, if possible, to someone
in your area.
Support Group information is updated as often as possible. If you don’t find
your area listed, please contact the
Foundation Office or check again in a few days.
Select a represented country for it’s support group information.
