CLM Drop-in Group
Our monthly drop-in group is an open, welcoming space for parents at any stage of the lung malformation journey — from diagnosis to surgery and beyond. Come to listen, ask questions, or simply connect with others who understand. Each session is led by trained parent volunteers who have personally experienced a CLM diagnosis and know how isolating it can feel.
FAQ
-
Our 1-on-1 support program connects you with a trained parent volunteer who has been through a similar diagnosis. It offers a dedicated space to share what you’re going through with someone who truly understands, and allows for an ongoing, individual connection.
Group support is also led by trained parent volunteers but brings together multiple parents at a similar stage of the journey, creating a sense of community and shared understanding.
You can choose 1-on-1 support, group support, or both. We generally recommend joining a group, and suggest adding 1-on-1 support if this is your first baby, if there are additional pregnancy complications, or if you have a history of birth or pregnancy trauma.
