WHAT ARE ONLINE SUPPORT GROUPS?
Online support groups meet in real-time via video conference.
Why Online?
Many patients cannot leave their homes or do not have a local support group available. An online support group allows them to have a dynamic discussion with other patients to ask questions, share coping strategies, and receive support.

Social Hour
VeDA's monthly social hour is a time to hang out with people who understand your vestibular struggles while engaging in a fun, relaxing activity. Technically, this is NOT a support group because we are not talking about our vestibular challenges. Think of it as meet-up for "vesties." Each month we have a different topic. Check out our schedule and register for an event below.
