Audience: Everyone
Being a part of someone’s support system can be difficult and make us feel vulnerable no matter what. It can be even more challenging when we don't know how to talk with or ask questions to a loved one struggling with illness or any of the surprises that having CF can bring. How can we ask effective questions and know what to listen for? In this panel of two people living with CF and two primary caregivers, we will explore what support has looked like in their lives and what questions and conversations are helpful – and not so helpful. We will talk about challenges they face day-to-day, and the differences in acute care versus supporting quality of life. We hope that you walk away with tools to help you ask good questions and build an effective support system for the families and friends in your circle who are managing life with CF.
