Hello everyone! My name is Laura and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - I also have Celiac disease. My nutritionist Yvette (a Registered Dietician who is experienced in Celiac) and I are trying to put a support group together in central/northern NJ. I have been facilitating mental health groups with children, teens, and adults for approximately 9 years now. I've been to Celiac support groups and most of them seem to be focused on education, which is great for the right audience. I'd like to start running a group for anyone with gluten issues (as well as family members) that focuses on the "support" aspect along with the education.
I figured I'd post on here to see if anyone would be interested in attending this group. Its absolutely needed and we need more of these groups across the country. If you'd be interested, please let me know! The more people that would be interested, the sooner we can get this up and running. Best wishes to you all!

Hi Laura and good work!
You might also want to check with the Celiac Sprue Association, the Celiac Disease Foundation and the Gluten Intolerant Group. They might have support agencies in place that you can work with in your area.
