Peer Support Volunteers

If you are currently suffering with HG, find support from someone who understands. HER volunteers offer social support and can direct you to HG resources. Our Peer Support Volunteers are not medical professionals; they are HG survivors who want to make sure no one else ever feels alone during HG. Using text messaging and phone calls, talk with someone who understands.
