This PWS E-Mail Support/Information Program is sponsored by Prader-Willi
Syndrome Association (USA) to provide information and support to parents of
children who have Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), care providers, and
extended family members. Participants in this eSupport Group share information and parenting strategies with an emphasis on issues which are unique to those who serve or have served in the active or reserve military and National Guard. The Military Group provides the opportunity to connect people who wish to share their experience and expertise gained while raising an Exceptional Family Member (EFM) diagnosed with PWS.
Subscribers on the Military eSupport Group list should be parents, extended
family members, and/or caregivers of children of any age with PWS who are being raised or were raised in a military family. Due to the nature of Prader-Willi syndrome, symptoms tend to change over the course of the individual's lifetime. This Military group is not intended to be a replacement for the age specific boards currently sponsored by PWSA. We provide an additional resource for those of us who serve or have served in the military and wish to discuss the special challenges associated with PWS and the military lifestyle.
We look forward to an active and informative board that will address the many issues unique to military families. Please join us!
