Do you need someone to talk to about being a caregiver for someone with liver disease?
Join the American Liver Foundation's Peer-to-Peer Support Program!
Caring Connections–an ALF peer-to-peer support program connects patients and caregivers facing the challenges brought on by living with liver disease with others who have been facing these same challenges. Using this platform, you are matched, one-to-one, with a trained peer mentor and can communicate safely and securely by phone, messages, or video chat. This online platform makes it easy to share your questions, experiences, and challenges with a trusted peer who understands what it's like to be in your shoes, no matter where you are in your liver disease journey. Peer mentors can share their experiences with the challenges of a new, upsetting diagnosis, treatments, transplantation, family and social relationship challenges, and more.
