Help HER
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG)
has an incredible impact on the lives of those who experience
it, as well as those around them. Many feel a desire to help
others survive this very difficult time in life. If you want
to help our organization and support
our mission,
there are several ways you can do that. You have taken the first
step by educating yourself on HG so you can increase other's
awareness and effectively support those you know with HG.
Other Ways You Can Help:
- Refer others, including health professionals to our site for up-to-date,
reliable HG information and research.
- Print out our online
brochures and/or survival guide for
distribution to health professionals and hospitals in your area.
New brochures are added periodically.
- If you have any special skills that you could offer on a volunteer basis, please
e-mail us at volunteer@hyperemesis.org.
- Contact those you know and refer them to our site to
help increase awareness and interest. See our Activism page for more.
- Network with service-oriented companies. We are looking for businesses
willing to offer discounts on their services for families facing HG to ease
their financial burden.

poll, and other available research studies. See our home

you have contacts in these areas, or know of opportunities, please refer

media such

talk shows. Tell
them about your experience with HG and refer them to our site for more infomation. See
