While much of the support for thyroid patients is online, even thyroid patients with limited or no Internet access need support systems. Find out how the steps involved in starting up your own community or local thyroid in your area in How to Start Your Own Community Thyroid Support Group.
Many thyroid patients could benefit from in-person support from fellow patients. And thyroid patients with limited or no Internet access — including seniors (who are at highest risk of thyroid disease) — need support systems. In many cases, however,local, community or in-person support groups need to be started, launched and run by patients in the community. If you have started or participated in an in-person thyroid or health support group, please share your advice, experience, stories, ideas, and thoughts about how to start, run, publicize and grow a community-based, in-person thyroid support group.
