Facebook Support Groups

Our Brain Tumour Support Groups on Facebook provide 24/7 access to a compassionate community where you can connect, share, and find support. While these groups are always open for engagement, they are monitored by the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada (BTFC) team during regular business hours (Monday to Friday, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm ET).
We host six exclusive groups designed to support various members of the brain tumour community:
  1. Brain Tumour Support Group – English: For anyone affected by a brain tumour.
  2. Brain Tumour Support Group – French: Pour toute personne touchée par une tumeur cérébrale.
  3. Pediatric Brain Tumour Support Group – English: For families and individuals impacted by pediatric brain tumours.
  4. Pediatric Brain Tumour Support Group – French: Pour les familles et les individus touchés par des tumeurs cérébrales pédiatriques.
  5. Caregiver Support Group – English: Focused on caregivers supporting loved ones with brain tumours.
  6. Young Adult Support Group – English: A community for young adults navigating brain tumour experiences.
