ThyCa St. Louis, MO Support Group

Meets: ThyCa St. Louis meets the third Saturday of every month from 10:00 to 11:30 AM.

Due to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, we are exercising an abundance of caution for the well-being of our support group members. As such, we are canceling all scheduled support group meetings for the foreseeable future. Having said this, some support groups are holding virtual meetings in place of their canceled meetings.

Please take care of yourself. We suggest that you follow the precautions recommended by your local health agencies and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. https://www.cdc.gov/
ThyCa St. Louis holds FREE virtual meetings at our regular time, 10:00 to 11:30 AM Central Time on the third Saturday of every month. Members of our group or others are welcome. Please e-mail our group facilitator at StLouis-MO@thyca.org for connection info. We will continue to meet online until the shelter-in-place order has been lifted and ThyCa approves a return to in-person meetings. We look forward to seeing you there.
