Community Resources
Find support groups, experts, resources, and connections with other people who share your story.
At Maggie’s Place we host programs that address the whole person– physical, emotional, spiritual and social. For support beyond what we do here, we’ve made a list of resources. It’s not exhaustive, so please be in touch with Allison Thomas if there’s something you’re looking for that you don’t see here. We’re excited work with you to help you find what you’re looking for.
