United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Hi all!
It's been a long time for me to be on the boards. Once upon a time, when Dani was a baby, there was no support to be found in Western Canada. I organized a support group, and was actively doing outreach work when requested to help new familes. (West Coast Erb's Palsy Support Group). After some trainwreck personal events, I had to fold the group, and look after my and Dani's needs only.

My child is 15 yrs old now, and I took time off so I could take a breather.
What I am wondering is, are there any families in BC, the lower mainland that would be interested in getting together sometime?

I did set up two picnics in the past when my support group was active, and Dani was little. Both had a really good turn out. I have felt bad for slipping away, and haven't been in touch with those families since.
I am not wanting to, nor have time to facilitate another group, but it might be nice to network with local families.

If you're interested, post a message Hopefully all ages baby-teen-adult.

I am in the Langley, BC area.

What about you?

Cheers,
Kim

I am bumping this post up.

I know from having coordinated and run the West Coast Erb's Palsy Support Group many many years ago that there are familes here in BC still, and I would really love to re-connect with you.

My child isn't a baby anymore-she is 15 yrs old, and though I have no interest or time in starting another group, I do think it would be good to network locally.

If you want to connect, let me know.

Kim ,there is a BPI group as well as UBPN group on Facebook. It seems most people are now going to Facebook these days. Can I copy and paste your post for you there if you are too busy?

HI! I am looking for a support group or families in BC with a child that has Brachial Plexus and I found this post but not much else. I have a 12 year old that suffered the injury at birth and I know he would love to chat with other close to his age. We live in Kelowna, is there anybody from around here that would be interested? Thanks!
