Wellness Support Sessions for those with EDS/HSD
The ILC Foundation Membership Support Program is to provide educational resources to help individuals create a balance between school, work, self-care, self-management and leisure activities.
We know that living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, its related conditions including chronic pain or other Heritable Connective Tissue Disorders can be isolating and difficult to manage.
The pressures of balancing work, home life, hospital visits, doctor appointments, sleepless nights, rehabilitation and physio therapy plus navigating the medical system and all the associated paperwork can be an overwhelming journey for anyone and families.
The ILC provides a platform for peer support, where people can connect on their lived experience and provide understanding support to one another and sharing tips to assist with coping strategies, goal-setting and wellness planning.
