Making a Difference

What is Your Trigger?

Lately, we have been getting a number of calls about food and stress triggers. As you may know, it varies by person and we recommend keeping an activity and food journal to help you figure out what your triggers are.  If you would like to help others consider telling your story about your triggers by submitting your experiences through our Tell Your Story page.  You can remain anonymous and, you never know, a few words from you may make all the difference in the world to someone else.

Board of Directors Commits to Outreach and Increasing the Number of Support Groups in 2010 and 2011!

Our Board of Directors met in May to plan this year's activities (yes we begin our year on May 1st not January 1st) and we all agreed that we needed to reach more patients and caregivers in all parts of Canada - big cities, and rural and remote communities.  As patients and caregivers ourselves, we know first hand the importance and benefits of support from others who are experiencing the same pain, discomfort, frustrations and challenges.  In the coming months, you will see us more of us on Facebook, by email and in your doctor's offices.  If you want to stay in touch, join our RSS Feed above or sign up for our e-newsletter.  We promise to do our best to help you get the support you need in your community or region.
