Support Group / Club Listings
(Last Update - 01-Oct-2006)
Need a club - start a club
While WebWhispers answers many needs for us, we feel it is important to have a local support group in addition to our Internet club. Face to Face discussions and demonstrations often answer questions in an easier to understand manner. If you do not have a club in your area and you need help setting up one, download and print a copy of Jane S. Del Vecchio's booklet, Building a Successful Laryngectomee Club - a 29 page Adobe.pdf file.
FINDING LOCAL GROUPS
If you cannot find a meeting exclusively for "larynx cancer" or "head and neck" patients, try one for cancer patients of all types. A lot of the treatments such as radiation or chemo have after effects that are shared by people with other kinds of cancers and the emotional support can be immeasurable.
Please check with your local ACS (American Cancer Society), doctor's office, clinic, hospital, cancer center or the VA hospital to see if they know of some support group meetings in your area. Check your Yellow Pages for Support Groups or Cancer Support. One might be listed under Lost Chord, New Voice, Nu-Voice, or Head & Neck Support.
The clubs below are listed by State and City in the US, followed by listings for Mexico, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Australia, and New Zealand. We have put together various clinics, hospitals and local support groups that are not affiliated with the IAL with the listings from the list of IAL member clubs,
If YOUR club is not listed, we ask that you contact us with your information so we may add your club to the list. Please send whatever information you have, a contact for the group, email address and web site if you have them. If you find other clubs, please let us know about them so we can add them to the list. Please notify Randy Lemster with this information.
CHECK THE IAL LISTINGS
On the IAL site under Club Information http://www.larynxlink.com/Main/clubmap.htm you will find a map for locating IAL member clubs by state and there is a list for other countries. You may also download a complete detailed listing of “all” IAL affiliated clubs in the USA and abroad (in .pdf format) as of January, 2006.
If you have a local club and want to affiliate it with the IAL, you can choose an IAL Club application from that same page.
In our listings that follow, we list the locations and names of clubs that are in the IAL membership but suggest you go directly to the IAL download for complete information.
