SUPPORT GROUPS AND DIAGNOSIS-SPECIFIC INFORMATION

SUPPORT GROUPS AND DIAGNOSIS-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
	Chapter 7 OTHER RESOURCES (WHERE TO LEARN MORE)

You may not find a group that deals specifically with your child’s DSD. There isn’t a support or information group for every kind of DSD. If you’re in that position, contact a group that might make sense, and tell them that there isn’t a group for your child’s DSD so you’d like their help as much as possible. Later, if you find yourself feeling strong, think about starting a group for your child’s DSD.

Disclaimer: Although all of the following groups have useful information and contacts to share, this list should not be construed as a blanket endorsement of their work. Furthermore, the list is not exhaustive, and support group contact information changes frequently: websites may be more accurate than mailing addresses; visit http://www.accordalliance.org for the latest information.
