The Well Spouse Foundation (WSF) is a national, non–profit membership organization which provides support to husbands, wives and partners of people with a chronic illness and/or disability. A year's membership in the Well Spouse Foundation provides six issues of the WSF bi-monthly newsletter "Mainstay," information about other WSF publications, a list of current WSF support groups as well as help to start new groups (including a Group Leadership Guide), the opportunity to join a Round Robin letter-writing support group and invitations to the organization's annual conference as well as other weekend meetings around the country.

Annual membership is $25.00 for members living within the US or $30.00 for members outside the US. However, no spouse/partner is denied membership in WSF due to financial hardship. If you are unable to afford full membership dues, WSF will accept whatever contribution you can make.
