MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction" (cinderella)

 The easiest way to start a support group would be to ask your local library or your church if they have some space that you can use once a week or month and post fliers at local family/general and pediatric offices as well as at the library and local churches.

Pediatricians can help refer other parents to the group and over a period of a few months, you could steamroll into quite a large group!

Start with a schedule and a list of topics: one topic discussion for each meeting based on the group needs. Eventually, you may need to split into 2 groups - parents of teens and parents of younger children.

Best of luck to you!
