The Canterbury Angelman Support Group are a group of Families in Christchurch and Canterbury all who have children with Angelman Syndrome.
The group began in late 2006 with a number of families meeting together for a picnic.
Our aims are:
- to provide support for families who have a family member with Angelman Syndrome
- to provide opportunities for families and friends who have a family member with Angelman Syndrome to network, meet, share and support each other on the journey of a member of the family with Angelman Syndrome
- to provide opportunities and environments for learning and education about Angelman Syndrome
- to promote an awareness and education about Angelman Syndrome to families, medical profession, preschools, teachers family members, carers and the wider community.
