Who should attend? Family members, caregivers, friends and interested persons are encouraged to attend.

Benefits of attending a local support group include
communicating in a nurturing, non-judgmental environment with
others who have shared a common acoustic neuroma experience; sharing information on dealing with specific problems, overcoming
handicaps and reassuring others that better times lie ahead; educating and informing each other about the latest acoustic neuroma
topics of interest; and providing emotional support to all patients, both pre- and post-treatment. This helps in reducing the isolation
nd loneliness that many acoustic neuroma patients feel.
