The Scleroderma Association of BC was founded in 1984 by five patients diagnosed with scleroderma in varied forms. Today we provide support to about 450 patients and their families throughout BC. We exist to promote patient outreach, support and education; to create public awareness and understanding of scleroderma, and to encourage and support research.
Through innovative programming, we assist new immigrants with settlement; provide counselling and support to families and individuals with personal issues; promote personal development of children and youth; facilitate social participation of parents and seniors in the community; help the unemployed in job and career development; facilitate entrepreneurs in business development; deliver education and employment related training; and promote social change through community development and advocacy.
