PATIENT SUPPORT GROUPS
Our website has a list of active NTM and Bronchiectasis support groups across the United States as well as in other countries. This includes a dedicated group for extrapulmonary / disseminated NTM patients and caregivers and one specifically for NTM patients under the age of 50.
Not all NTM patients live close to a support group that holds regular in-person meetings, so we also offer support group meetings virtually via Zoom.
If you would like to start a support group, please email us at ntmmail@ntminfo.org. We will be happy to provide further guidance on starting your new group.
NTMir is always happy to assist new and existing groups by providing copies of this pamphlet, flyers to put in doctors’ offices, stickers with contact information to put on copies of pamphlets left in doctors’ offices, and a Support Group Leader
training manual. We can also assist with scheduling online meetings and technical support running the meetings.
NTM/BE CONNECT
We also have an online forum, NTM/BE Connect, for all NTM and bronchiectasis patients as well as their loved ones. Registration for this online support group with more than 3,600 members is free, and we do not share your personal information.
