Interested in a Toronto Support Group? was created by dpaynter
hello everyone - my name is Dale and I live about an hour west of Toronto

wondering if there are any people in the GTA interested in being part of a PDSA support group in the Toronto Area?

I attended the PDSA conference in Boston last month and was overwhelmed by the information and support that was available.

It's nice to meet you and I think it's great that you want to start a support group.

Please be careful though with giving out such personal information. It's a crazy world out there and this Forum is public world-wide.

Hi...I'm not from Toronto but from Montreal and I'd love to have one over here as well. I saw that there is one in Ottawa. Let's hope that it comes together!

There's not enough of us here in NB to support one! Good luck, I hope you get one up and running.

How would someone even start something like that? I think that it really sucks that we don't have one here. I'd love to have people to talk face to face about this.

I live in Toronto and would try to attend. There's a few others who post here who are from the Toronto area as well. I'd also try to attend a meeting outside of Toronto, but that might be a little more difficult.
