Non-ACHA Support Groups

The following is a list of non-ACHA support groups offering services to ACHD patients. Some serve both children and adults, others are just for the young adult or adult patient.

If you know of a support group that does not appear here, please let us know by e-mailing us at info@achaheart.org.

For tips on starting a support group, please see the AHA's Guidelines for Parent Support Groups. For on-line support, please see our Message Board and our mailing lists.
