Our artists or “Art Friends” as we have named ourselves, come from every community we serve, and then some. That’s right, It doesn’t matter if you are a patient, survivor, thriver, care-partner, family member, friend, or loved one of ANY condition (cancer, chronic illness, rare disease, etc), our studio is open to you! Yes, we really mean it!
The group is open to all conditions. We don’t discuss medicine, protocols and treatments – rather all the other issues you have to deal with living with your condition.
Welcome to Women Speaking Freely! In our vibrant, all-women virtual support group, we discuss a myriad of topics, while steering clear of treatment specifics. We're here to chat about things that matter to you - relationships, family, emotions, and beyond!
AnCan and the Visual Snow Initiative (VSI) have partnered together to provide face-to-face support and interpersonal connection for the Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS) community by hosting virtual, peer-moderated support groups.
Our virtual VSS support group focuses on not just the physical symptoms of VSS, but how it can affect your mental health as well. Run by individuals with VSS who understand our struggles, this is a safe space for people of all ages affected by VSS (whether a patient or a loved one) to relate to one another and share experiences, tips, or other important topics. Having VSS can be isolating and it may be hard to find someone else with the condition in your area. We want to remind you that you are not alone in this. We can communicate together face-to-face, support each other, gain insights from one another’s experiences, and learn more about the diverse global impact of VSS.
