In addition to our nationwide support group Loosely Speaking, Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes New Zealand, and the newly launched LGBTQIA++ Takatāpui Kapa, we also have regional support hubs who meet from time to time. These support hubs are run by volunteers from the nationwide Ehlers-Danlos community and are a great way to meet other members within the same region.

We kindly request that all participants who join any of our support groups, which include our nationwide hubs and more specialised hubs, maintain courtesy towards one another, exhibit kindness, and refrain from seeking personal contact information from others.
