Looking for more ways to connect? From our annual conference to local meetups.

Meeting someone else with cluster headaches for the first time is an incredible experience. You've spent years, maybe even decades, fighting to get the right diagnosis and treatment. Many clusterheads struggle to get anyone in their lives to understand the severity of the pain and how it impacts every part of your day-to-day life. Support group meetings and the annual Clusterbusters conference are often life-changing for those meeting other clusterheads because, for the first time, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone. We get it. Our support groups meet virtually, and we also offer one-on-one support opportunities. If you are a cluster patient, sign up for one of the patient support groups and if you are a Care Partner to a cluster patient sign up for the Care Partner support group.
