FSR has several programs to provide people affected by sarcoidosis with the support they need to successfully cope with this disease.

FSR Stop Sarcoidosis Community Through our partnership with Inspire, a leading provider of online community services, FSR offers a place where sarcoidosis patients around the world can share information and support one another. Since its launch in November 2006, the FSR Stop Sarcoidosis Community has offered nearly 10,000 patients, their families and caregivers a safe, trusted online environment to share their stories.

Members are actively participating in discussion groups and building a network of online friends.

The online community is not meant to be a substitute for professional medical information, but rather a place where those affected by sarcoidosis can connect with others. 

If you or someone you love is living with this disease and want to share and support others through their individual journeys and experiences with sarcoidosis, we encourage you to register and become members of our new Online Community.  Registration is FREE!

Traditional Support Groups

In-person support groups can provide another great way for patients and their family members to share experiences, emotions and knowledge. Many people find that talking with others who have had similar experiences can help them face the challenges of coping with sarcoidosis with a positive attitude.
