Lupus Support Network

Living with a chronic invisible illness can be a lonely experience, but you’re not alone! The Michigan Lupus Foundation offers both virtual and in-person opportunities for lupus warriors to connect with others who understand the challenges of living with lupus. Our support groups provide a welcoming space to share personal experiences, exchange coping strategies, gain firsthand insights and build meaningful connections within the lupus community. We hope you'll join us and feel comfortable sharing your own journey.
