Membership
The 4p- Support Group is an non-profit association of families of children with 4p-. For new parent and new member information contact the Membership Chair by email. This contact does not obligate you to join the Support Group or pay dues.
Our support group offers:
- Phone Support
- Newsletters
- National Gatherings
- Regional Meeting
- Internet Listserv
- Biographical Information
The internet listserv is also available for parents and interested professionals. The listserv was started to provide a place where parents could communicate with others who understood their children. It should be a 'safe' place to express frustrations, ventings, concerns, joys and sorrows with others who understand. As in all our dealings, we may not always agree with each other. but we trust that we can disagree in a friendly manner. We come from many different backgrounds: ethnic, religious, and lifestyles.
