Stories from Adults with CF on Mental Health and Healing
Session Format
Keynote
Description

Maintaining mental health can be challenging for all people, and particularly for all of us living with a chronic disease. Come listen to stories from adults with CF as they share about their struggles and healing, and to hear how you are not alone. Learn from their experiences on how to cope and how to reach out for help. We will also explore how, although the stigma around mental health is getting better in some areas, there are still people and cultures who are not experiencing this shift and may have extra barriers to healing.

Session Objectives
  1. Listen to stories from people who struggle with maintaining mental health and have found healing strategies.
  2. Explore how mental health continues to be stigmatized, especially in minority cultures.
  3. Learn ways to reach out for help based on the panelists’ experience.
