Buffalo Support Group
Our support group meets at the DENT Tower at 3980 Sheridan Drive (click here for a map) on the 4th Tuesday of every month from 7:30-9pm. 

Support groups offer important information about coping with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and provide a community of support for individuals and their loved ones.  Our goal is to help alleviate fears and concerns through education and group discussions.   

*** If you are interested in starting a Southtowns support group, please contact Jeanenne Petri at jpetri@ccfa.org or 362.1232.



We hope you'll be able to join us for our 1st Annual Family Picnic on Saturday, Sept 18.  Bring a dish to share and we'll provide the hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks.  Come meet other families living with Crohn's & Colitis.  Games for the kids!  Dr. Humaira Hashmi from the Digestive Disease and Nutrition Center at Women's and Children's Hospital of Buffalo will be available to answer questions and talk about pediatric IBD issues. 
All are welcome! 

Please RSVP by Sept. 10 by clicking here.  Questions?  Call the office 362.1232.
