Resources for Affiliated Support Groups

Thank you for being a UOAA Affiliated Support Group. Our support groups embody our vision of having a society where people with intestinal or urinary diversions are universally accepted and supported socially, economically, medically and psychologically.

Your contact at the national office for all ASG related questions is Jennifer Polisner, UOAA’s Office and Program Coordinator. Jennifer can be reached at oa@ostomy.org or 800-826-0826.

ASG in a Box

To provide guidance and assist ASG leaders with facilitating their support group, UOAA has developed a comprehensive manual titled “ASG In A Box.” The information provided in this manual extends from starting a group, topics for meetings including educational webinars, creating a website and social media presence, newsletter templates and much more.

This manual is a benefit of your affiliation with UOAA and is password protected. Please contact the UOAA national office at info@ostomy.org or 800-826-0826 to obtain your password.
