A unique aspect of our group is that we have compassionate people who are willing to listen to you anytime, especially those with a child that has been recently diagnosed.  Sometimes we just need someone to talk to...someone that understands.  Our meetings are not the only time and place for support.   Can't make the meetings?  Join our  mailing list to put you in touch with our CAREing members.
