Family Support Forum Help

How to navigate

From the Family Support Forum’s main page, you can view questions within a specific category (or topic) by clicking on a topic in the Williams Syndrome Q&A or Family Support DIscussion Group sections. If you aren’t sure which topic to choose, you can also use the forum’s search function in the top right to search across all topics based on a keyword or phrase.

How to ask a question

If you have a question that has not been asked within the relevant topic area, please post it! Navigate to the most appropriate topic area, and use the “Add a question” link in the top left. The forum topic should already be pre-filled and you just need to add a title for your question, and then the question itself in the “Body” field. The question will be posted to the forum and available for other forum users to respond to.
