Support services
We are setting up a peer support service, linking those living with osteoporosis with newly diagnosed
persons. We feel that the best advice comes from someone who is living with the same problems.
Available positions / Volunteer
postings
We would like to have two to four more volunteers trained to speak to groups and individuals and/or staff
health fair displays. Time involved, after initial training would vary from 4 to 12 hours a month. Fluency in
French would be an asset for one of those volunteers. An available car is necessary.
