Patients & Caregivers

Virtual Support Groups

 

Pericarditis Alliance is so pleased to offer three new monthly virtual support groups for patients and their families to check in, connect, and learn from each other. Register for each group through the calendar below.

Pericarditis Under 30 hosted by Alexa – A group to bring much needed targeted support for the younger demographic who are hit with this disease at a time when they are still trying to figure themselves out and making plans for their future — often being forced to pivot in their career and life goals. First Sunday of the month at 12pm ET. Open to pericarditis patients under 30, and their caregivers.

Shares From the Collective hosted by Lisa – Where participants will have the option to follow different themes and topics for a few sessions at a time while bringing their own lived experiences to the discussion to learn from and support each other. First Saturday of the month at 1pm ET. Open to all pericarditis patients and caregivers.

Pericarditis International hosted by Andy from England, allowing us to support more patients in Europe and nearby time zones. Andy says upon getting pericarditis, his biggest battle was fighting himself. His sessions will have a large focus on the psychological and mental health aspects of pericarditis. Second Sunday of the month at 4:30pm GMT. Open to all pericarditis patients and caregivers.

Pericarditis Speaker Series with Rachel – A professional speaker series including presentations and discussions by special guests with expertise in pericarditis lifestyle and health management, clinical trials, and more. These are on Mondays with dates and times TBD. Open to all pericarditis patients and caregivers.

Registration is open for one month at a time and will be open for each group by the Friday after the previous meeting. Shares From The Collective, Pericarditis Under 30, and Pericarditis International will be capped at 12 participants per meeting.

By submitting your contact information you will be sent a reminder for all future Virtual Support Group meetings as well.
