Free Virtual Support Groups for Canadians
CANrise19 hosts FREE virtual support groups for Canadians injured by the COVID-19 vaccines. These live groups occur weekly, for 8 to 10 weeks, via Microsoft Teams. Meetings are approximately 1 to 1.5 hours in length, available in both English and French, and are facilitated by two CANrise19 volunteers. Their purpose is to allow participants to develop a network of peer support, through a series of structured sessions addressing the impacts of living with a vaccine injury in Canada. Groups are also available for individuals supporting a loved one throughout their vaccine injury.
To participate in any of these support groups, a waiver is required, as we aim to build a safe, respectful, and confidential environment for all.
