About The Phoenix Association
A safe haven for support
The Phoenix Association is a volunteer-driven support group dedicated to individuals living with HSV.
Founded in Toronto in the early 1980s, our mission is to provide a welcoming environment where members can share their stories, learn from one another - without judgement, embarrassment or shame - and combat the stigma surrounding herpes.
We focus on building a community that emphasizes understanding, acceptance, and personal growth, helping individuals to not let herpes define who they are.
Supporting Each Other
Almost every member who joins Phoenix shares the same sentiment:
“I don’t feel so alone anymore”.
Becoming part of our community means being able to share experiences, learn from each other, and lessen the feeling of isolation that being diagnosed with herpes can bring.
Members support each other in their journey—while everyone’s journey is unique, there are often many similarities and you will find many experiences relatable.
