Participants share their concerns and reinforce their knowledge during informal group meetings. Groups are available for patients under 40 years old and over 40 years old.
Patients learn from each other under the guidance of nurses and a clinical psychologist.
Patients can also be placed on a mailing list for a free monthly newsletter highlighting available resources and discussing frequently asked questions. The newsletter also highlights dates and times for future meetings. To view or download the May 2001 issue of the ICD Updates newsletter click the image to the right or click here .
