Support Groups

The Social Work Department at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE) offers support groups for select eye, ear, nose, and throat conditions. Members are given a forum to share their stories, ask questions, and learn about useful resources in a comfortable and supportive environment.
