This group is for members who are living with immunodeficiency and navigating family life. This includes parents/caregivers of children diagnosed with PI, as well as people with an immunodeficiency who have parental responsibilities. This is a space to connect, share stories and gain support from others who may be going through a similar experience. Discussions vary, but some possible topics might be: raising children with immunodeficiency, coping as a parent when you have an immunodeficiency, managing family relations or navigating the healthcare system.
This group is hosted by one of our caring volunteers, Emily, who has lived experience of Primary Immunodeficiency. As a facilitator, she will create a safe environment, encourage a sense of community and nurture helpful discussions, ensuring everyone is listened to and supports one another.
These events are free to join but they do require you to register and be over the age of 19.
