UOAA’s Support Group Finder helps you easily locate in-person and virtual ostomy support groups across the United States. These groups offer a safe, welcoming space for people living with a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy — as well as caregivers — to ask questions, share experiences, and receive guidance from peers and trained leaders. Whether you’re preparing for surgery, adjusting afterward, or seeking long-term community, connecting with others who truly understand can make a powerful difference in your confidence and quality of life. (You may need to scroll vertically within the form results to see all 4 of them.)
In addition to searching for local groups, you can view a list of ASGs that have Websites and a list of Virtual (Non-local) ASGs.
If you’re unable to reach the listed ASG contact or do not receive a response within 48 hours, please contact UOAA at 800-826-0826 or info@ostomy.org for assistance.
