Virtual Support Groups

The RLS Foundation hosts free weekly virtual support meetings on Zoom, open to anyone. Pre-registration is required. 

Due to the demand, and in order to keep the meetings small enough to have meaningful and manageable conversations, please sign up for only one meeting per month. You will receive an email after registering with Zoom login information. Here are some upcoming meetings:

Local Support Groups

Foundation volunteers coordinate support meetings in their area, either in-person or online. Networking with others in your area can provide the support you need to learn more about RLS and discuss strategies that work for others in managing their RLS. If you are interested in starting a support group in your area, contact Elyse Hopfe at 512-366-9109. Watch here for upcoming meetings in your area.
