September is an exciting month for the RLS community, with several support meetings just in time for RLS Awareness Day on September 20th! We are thrilled to welcome a new support group for Pennsylvania (details below).

We are also hosting a special third Thursday virtual support group, where RLS community members are welcome to invite their friends, family and loved ones to listen and learn. This supportive space will be an opportunity to educate your support system on the impact of RLS.

These gatherings are a great way to connect, share, and learn from others so use the search tool below to view active groups by state and learn more about upcoming meetings!
